As much as I love bright, clear colors, I like all types of fabric. I like plaids and like the way they mix in with the country style prints. I started this quilt back in the time period when we were into the Red Wagon books and more primitive style quilts. I made the log cabin blocks first and they were for a specific quilt. As time went on I knew I really didn't want to make that quilt so I started playing around with Friendship Star which is in the center of the quilt. I had seen a quilt made of this block in a book, and after making the amount of blocks I have here, I was done with that. I always say I have the attention span of a Kindergartner. I get tired of things easily or I see something else I want to try, and off I go in another direction. I call this one Country Sampler and it has been a favorite of mine for years.
I was always looking for a new class to teach and decided to offer this one. I always had one in progress so I could show the "how to" so I decided to choose a totally different type of fabric for this next one. I had been collecting the 30's reproduction fabrics for years and wanted to use them. I didn't need to show them any technique on the 2 end panels so I left them off of this one and it is a baby quilt.
