Another side of me
As much as I love bright, clear colors, I like all types of fabric. I like plaids and like the way they mix in with the country style prints. I started this quilt back in the time period when we were into the Red Wagon books and more primitive style quilts. I made the log cabin blocks first and they were for a specific quilt. As time went on I knew I really didn't want to make that quilt so I started playing around with Friendship Star which is in the center of the quilt. I had seen a quilt made of this block in a book, and after making the amount of blocks I have here, I was done with that. I always say I have the attention span of a Kindergartner. I get tired of things easily or I see something else I want to try, and off I go in another direction. I call this one Country Sampler and it has been a favorite of mine for years. I was always looking for a new class to teach and decided to offer this one. I always had one in progress so I could show the "how to" so I decided to choose a totally different type of fabric for this next one. I had been collecting the 30's reproduction fabrics for years and wanted to use them. I didn't need to show them any technique on the 2 end panels so I left them off of this one and it is a baby quilt.

Thank you - it is possible to love brights and reproductions and "country" and whatever else and have all of them happily co-exist in your studio! Love the "attention span of a Kindergartener" phrase - it describes me to a "T"
that's an excellent class project. I love the baby quilt and the 1st one would be a great QOV pattern.
Thanks again for sharing your creativity and motivating me to get those UFOs out and look for fresh ways to make them interesting enough to finish!
I love these ! Favored patterns all !
Especially like the baby quilt !...and I have LOTS of repro prints !
I really like both versions of that quilt. I like the simplicity of the Friendship star, & have used it to make my sister in law a quilt. Also have a soft spot for long cabins.
I have awarded you a Rockin' Girl Blogger award. Please dont feel obligated if you dont wish to pass if forward. Just know I think your colours Rock!
Wanda, You're getting me all excited about making bed quilts with blocks! I can't believe how wonderful this feels.
O and I was given an address to a quilt shop only 38 minutes from my house in TN. Uh oh...
It's amazing how different the two quilts look.
Beautiful projects!
