Sample Blocks

This has always been a favorite block, so I thought I would make a sample 9" - too small.  I wanted to see the fabrics more, with a larger scale block, so I sewed a 12" sample.  You can see where this is going...

Yes, indeed, there was no stopping.  This is still just blocks, and I'm considering a border.  As I was sewing, I thought that this should look like an upscale farm quilt, which makes me lean toward no border.  It will be 72" square as is.

  6. Your quilt is truly upscale. What a great block to showcase your fabulous fabric collection. I really love it. I don't think it needs a border either.

  7. That block is on my to-do list too and now that I saw your quilt, I sooooo want to get at it. Love your colours. The kind of quilt I just want to bundle up in. Upscale farm quilt ... that could be a very good name for it.
    Thanks for sharing.
