Sampler Puzzle #5

Pam Brennan

I enjoy making these sampler puzzle quilts using some of my favorite civil war reproduction style fabrics.I bordered this one with a burgundy background print fabric.This one measures a nice lap size of 46”x 55”.I made this one in the same manner as previous similar quilts that can also be viewed on this blog. No two of these quilts will ever be exactly alike.This quilt also includes a 2” hanging sleeve on the back. This quilt has sold on eBay.

I used a complimentary burgundy print fabric featuring gold wheat leaves as the backing and also used that same fabric as the binding. This quilt was machine quilted in an all over edge to edge pattern with a burgundy thread. I like this border fabric,I have a similar fabric in a dark green that may be the next sampler quilt on my “to do” list.

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.
