Splendid Sampler

My version of the Splendid Sampler took over a year to complete. I received 2 Free patterns for 6 1/2" blocks 2 times a week for a year. I didn't use all the patterns but added some  hand and machine embroidery and other pieced blocks.
I had collected purple and green fabrics for a few years and finally used some of them. I will wait a little while before I make another purple and green quilt.
I entered this in our local county fair and was pleased to receive not only a blue ribbon but an Award of Merit (yellow ribbon).
