Mine, alas, is still in the UFO pile. I made up my mind that I was going to hand piece and hand quilt and now when I look back at my poor technique, I don't feel like working on it....

Perhaps a blue and white sampler quilt. What do you think? I was thinking along the lines of houses and trees, but want to try something different.

I love the pink and black at the bottom.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.com
