| Saturday Sampler from Local Quilt Shop |
This quilt top was at least 5 years old and has been waiting patiently for me to become confident enough to quilt it. I had "quilters block" when it came to these sampler blocks until Natalia Bonner's new Craftsy class became available called "Free-Motion Motifs for Classic Blocks". This course was like a light bulb going off in my head. I quilted the actual blocks in no time at all. I am not as proud of my quilting of the sashings but I am ok with it. I count it as practice. Most of my quilts go to my family and they aren't too picky. They are very appreciative. My inner and outer borders turned out nice. The cross-hatching on the outer border was a bit time-consuming.

I have quilter's block, too... I've been a handquilter all my life, and have done a few straight-line machine quilted baby quilts, but I've just started trying FMQ. Still have to take a very deep breath before starting up the machine!
