Red Sampler Quilt Along - The Big Finish!!

 

Hello and welcome to the 

BIG FINISH 

of the Red Sampler Quilt Along!

I'm excited to show you my finished quilt:)

My friend and quilter Juli

 got it finished for me in record time 

so that I could 

snap a few photos for you:)

Thank you sew much Juli!!

I have loved having my blocks

 on the design wall in my sewing room 

for the last 4 months

and I have loved sewing with you!!!

After arranging and re-arranging...

I decided that this was the order 

that I wanted to sew my blocks 

together ...

according to the instructions in my

 Farm Girl Vintage 2 book of course!

I also decided that I really 

wanted the red in my blocks to shine...

and so I chose to use a 

red for just the inner border 

and a background for the outer border.

Here's a photo of my 

labeled fabric after I 

chose everything for the finish:)

The two reds are from my 

Flea Market collection and the

 outer border is from my Bee Backgrounds.

I chose the red clover from my

Bee Backgrounds for the backing...

it's the same print that I used 

to join my label blocks together.

And after it was all comleted...

I think that using a background 

for the border worked just how I wanted!!!

I'm completely thrilled 

with how it turned out...

and I love each and every block:)

Now of course going with a red fabric 

for the border would work as well... 

but I have made several 

red and white quilts that I have 

done that with and I wanted to

 do something different for this one:)

The weather was beautiful last night

 so I took these photos in my backyard.

I love how the red pops against

 my aqua shed and you can also 

see my red barn up top as well!

And as usual...

Toby had to wander into the shot

 lol

Next up is my sew along 

using my latest fabric collection called

 STITCH

The quilt is called 

"My Happy Place"

and I'll also be using my new set of

 Sew Simple Shapes to make it!

The sew along starts 

Monday August 23rd, 2021 

and as usual...

I will be doing a 

"BEE PREPARED" 

post here on my blog 

where I will show you everything

 that is needed for the quilt

 and explain all about the sew along

 and how it will work.

I will be posting that here on my blog

 next week

Monday, August 9th:)

I hope you will be joining me...

it's going to be sew fun!!
