Sampler Quilt Top
I pinned the finished top to the wall, but it was not very cooperative. It needs to be blocked, and then quilted, so that it will hang straighter. Also, I've not conquered the keystoning problem, where if the camera is not dead on, some of the sides look less than perpendicular to the horizontal lines. Oh, well, you can see how it fits together. I made one (at least) big designing error. The two Hunter Star blocks should not be right across from each other. Oh, well, as a famous quilter said, "Better finished than perfect!". Now, it's on to bigger (or not) and better things. However, this quilt is an example of why I don't really care for sampler quilts. The positive side - you get to brush up on the different techniques required to make certain blocks. The negative side - you have lots of different styles and techniques in one quilt top, and they aren't always harmonious. Oh, well, you can't win them all!
