Wade's Sampler Quilt





I made this quilt for my son, Wade, in 1986. It was a 'sampler' quilt, meaning that each block was a different pattern - a great way to learn how to quilt. I started it in 1984 and it took about 2 years, working on it on and off. The blue has faded a bit , but the colours are in vogue again now, which is interesting. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued and mostly hand quilted. I machine quilted the straight lines in the border but the rest are all hand done.
