I have written several posts on this quilt during the construction process of the top. It is out of civil war reproductions and the top center block has a picture of President Lincoln, thus the name, Land of Lincoln Sampler.
It is more of a wall hanging, lap quilt. as it measures 60" X 60". Right now, my mom covers up with it for an afternoon nap on occasion.
Here is the picture of President Lincoln, in the center of a block. Sorry for the shadow of me taking the picture.
The blocks were all different, most I haven't done before, but this kind of project always builds more quilting skills.
The backing is nondescript, just a plain small beige reproduction print.
The setting blocks between the quilt blocks are five strips of the various fabrics used in the quilt, this was a first for me using this type of setting blocks, and it is a wonderful way to use up leftover fabric, rather than adding another background fabric.
Next are the specific facts about the quilt:
