2017 Finishes - Vintage Sampler - #37

I actually wrote a lot about this program quilt as I was working on the blocks.  You can look at all the progress pictures and blog posts here.

This is the pattern pamphlet that this program was all about.

The finished quilt.

Here are the close ups of the different blocks in the quilt.

Borders were very simple, mostly because the quilt and it's blocks are busy.

I ordered separately the backing from Keepsake Quilting, and I'm glad I did, because it wasn't offered for very long, and this whole line of fabric ran dry within months of it coming out to purchase.

New BOM

I really need my head examined.  Really!  Sign up for a new BOM??  Aw, what the heck, it's just one this year.  I used to do several (that's why I have so many UFO's, but that's been a whole 'nother story)

This BOM is called "Vintage Sampler".  I took this picture at one of my favorite quilt shops, Something to Crow About in Springfield, Oregon.  We stopped there on our way to a trade show this weekend, and when I saw it in person, I swooned.  First of all I really like shirtings, and that is the basis of this fabric line.  Not to mention it is in Red, white, and blue colors.  And, I like doing samplers.

Vintage Sampler Block of the Month Quilt

Filled with American appeal and a rustic feel, this 82" x 89" full-sized sampler quilt is pieced and fusible appliqued over the period of 12 months. Each month you'll receive Barbara Eikmeier's pattern with directions and fabrics for a section of the quilt top from her Vintage Shirting & Dress Prints 1880-1910 line for Paintbrush Studio. 

So there you have it, another BOM on the list that never ends.  Sigh!!

Warmest...
