Sampler Puzzle #2

Pam Brennan

The first sampler puzzle quilt was a lot of fun so I thought I’d make another one.This one measures 46”x55” a nice lap size. I included a 2” hanging sleeve on the back for anyone who might like to use this as a wall hanging. I enjoyed putting different colors together and making different styles of blocks. Assembling the actual puzzle is a bit challenging but worth it.This quilt has sold on http://www.eBay.com.

For the three largest blocks I made a double 8 point star,a house with a hand appliquéd tree and a triangle pieced pine tree. The rest of the blocks were random chosen colors,styles and sizes.

After putting the puzzle together I chose a red print floral vine fabric for the outer border. I like how it compliments the reds in the blocks. I machine quilted this in an all over edge to edge abstract design with a light brown thread.

I’m a work from home long arm quilter/quiltmaker.I learned to sew on my Nana’s treadle machine when I was around 8 yrs old but didn’t start making quilts til much later in life.I’m mostly self taught and have been making quilts for 30+ years.I enjoy making scrappy quilts and love working with batiks,but I have a fondness for antique reproduction fabrics as well.I tend to work with more traditional style block patterns but I put my own spin on them with use of fabric choices.I also do some pantograph quilting for people who want their tops finished into quilts.
