I told in one of main blogs that I am in Nashville and that I had a quilt top finished ready for the longarmer. I suggested to Helen to finish her sampler because I wanted to pay for it to get quilted as a birthday gift. Both quilts were quilted and I picked them up on Monday.
I did the trimming and today Helen sewed the sleeve for hanging and the binding on. Her comment: it's a good time for hand sewing the binding because it's too hot in summer. Nice and cozy this time of the year. The size is about 55 x 77 inches.
James and Helen are holding it up so I can take a good picture. Top and bottom rows are the monthly blocks in the order of the year. She made 4 of each month's pattern. She stuck to the color scheme given with the "rules" for each month. That's why it is so vivid and lively. I usually use more subdued colors myself but I so love this one!!!
Well done, Helen! It was a learning experience for you but you sure took each step. Mutti is proud of you. And your grandmother Oma Ulla is looking down from heaven very happy.
