Sampler quilt

It has been more than a month since I last did a customer quilt, but I do believe everything happens at the right time.  Firstly, a PC board had to be replaced on my frame, which left me more than 5,000 South African rand poorer.  This was not available in our city, and I had to order it. Secondly, the heaps of cricket on TV kept me so busy, I was kind of grateful for the break. When a quilter from out of town came to the city earlier last week, she dropped off 3 quilts; by then I already had a booking for Friday, and the latter had to be finished within a week as it is meant as a gift.  With the PC board replaced and the cricket not on every day, I welcomed the change.

This sampler was the first of the three “out of town” quilts I took from the parcel, and I started with it and tried to get as far as I could before the Friday quilt arrived. I did a couple of variations of old favourites by simply using them in a different setting.  This is what makes a sampler such a fun quilt to work on.
