Sampler


I rarely buy quilting books, patterns, magazines. However, about 15 years ago I bought a multi page sampler pattern. I used the size of the blocks (9 1/2" x 12 1/2") and some of the blocks (Log cabin, 12 patch, tree of life, hearts, stars, bird house and sunflower). I added a few blocks of my own (goose, basket of apples, basket of flowers and checkerboards).
This wall quilt has been made to match my father's chair. I gathered all my navy, beige and maroon fabrics. I have added a thin navy inner border and a wider maroon second border.
I am making a companion piece using leftover fabric pieces.
