So what have I been up to lately? This fabulous sampler quilt was sent to me from my boyfriend's mother who lives in Monterey. This will be the 5th quilt of hers that I have machine quilted on the long-arm! Number six in on my machine at the moment, a beautiful flannel piece. This sampler of hers just begged to be custom quilted. By the time that I was finished, I had used 12 different color threads in the piece, including a nylon thread for the stitch-in-the ditch.

| Front. I love how each of the blocks are different sizes. |
 |
| Very unique fabric that she used for the back. |
 |
| Close up on back of the meandering stars on the final border and the two-tone feather on the two inner borders. |
The varied and unique blocks needed to be finished with quilting just as original.

| Loved the applique heart block. |

| I did a meander with hearts in red inside and in camel thread outside the heart applique. |
