Better Late then Pregnant

I guess the title is only funny is you ever watched  The Golden Girls. It was something that Blanche said on more than one occasion. During the years the show was on, I didn't actually "get" the saying. Well, I get it now, and it cracks me up every time. Anyhoo.......About 6 months ago KatieFaith and Lee hosted the Summer Sampler Series. Participants quilted along for about a month and ended up with a 12 block sampler quilt.

My creation
1. I've done, 2. Summer Sampler Series, 3. Bali Sampler, 4. Summer Sampler Series, 5. Border 091411, 6. Summer Sampler Series quilt in Habitat, 7. another baby quilt, 8. Summer Sampler Quilt Finished!, 9. Completed Sampler Quilt, 10. Summer Sampler, 11. Summer Sampler quilt, 12. SummerSamplerQAL.TopSashed0001

Really pretty, right? So even though I'm 6 months late (but not pregnant - whew!) I'm going to jump in and make it. I've got a bundle of Lecien's Flower Sugar which is very pretty, but generally not my style. I wanted to make a quilt in fabrics that I ohhed and ahhed over in other quilter's quilts, but had never used myself. I'm not sure how quickly I'll make this quilt, but if the four blocks I made this weekend are any indication, I'll be done soon.

This one is a whole lot just a little wonky. I'll have to decide how much that bothers me......

  1. They are gorgeous! I always loved Flower Sugar even though it doesn't really go with my style either.
    Oh, and your title cracked me up even though I didn't watch that show.

  3. Beautiful blocks!
    If it makes you feel any better, I made this quilt, too -- but the unfinished quilt top is still sitting in my "to finish" pile! You'll really enjoy making the blocks though, I really did!
