I was looking for a quilt to make for a special friend who was moving. This pattern fit my criteria; it had history, piecing, applique, colorful and fun. I put the information about each block (provided with the detailed patterns) and made a booklet that was gifted with the quilt.
You can usually find the magazine with all the patterns on eBay. I think it was later published separately as a pattern pack.

| 87" x 87" |
Some place in my archives I have closeups of every block showing my fabric choices. It is all machine stitched.
Designers listed on the pattern:
Lori DeJarnatt, Patty Harants, Ruthie Houghton, Paula Libby, Carol Malgren, Gabrielle Owens, Janet Peterson, Jill Reid and Stephanie Winn, Barbara Childs and Denise Davis.
I saw my friend recently and was pleased to hear she is using the quilt.
It is the only sampler quilt I've made - how about you?
Loris posts about her quilt are HERE and HERE
It is so fun to see someone else quilt from your pattern. Thanks for sharing! I just an email to our group today with your photo and now your blog link.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt and a wonderful gift for your friend.

I saw this on Lori's blog. It is fun to see other versions of it. Looks really good. Nice to know it is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when I made almost nothing but sampler quilts, but after about 6 in a row I finally moved on to other quilts. I still make samplers, but just not in such heavy concentration--and mine don't include applique. : )
Dawn I love your version of the quilt. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteYes, I made a sampler quilt top and it was huge! Well, I guess I have made more than one. I have not made the Civil War version that you made. I did have the magazine and loaned it to a friend. She still wants to use the pattern. Rather than press, I just ordered a copy from Amazon. I was not aware of Lori being one of the designers until I saw her blog post. You were very detailed in what you made and gave to a friend.
ReplyDeleteI saw Lori's post and I just love seeing your version of the quilt that you made for your friend. It's beautiful! What a wonderful gift for your friend! Good that she's using it too.
ReplyDeletei've only made the 'random' type of sampler quilt and only a doll sized one but did enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteyour version of this quilt is absolutely gorgeous . . . i think that i like it better than the cover quilt~!
what a lucky friend to get such a generous heirloom quality gift from you. i think it's extra special that she is using it on her bed.

I think sampler quilts are fun to make! I'm pretty sure that I have this magazine - need to go through the archives and see what I can find!
ReplyDeleteyour quilt looks great - thanks for listing all the women who designed it!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLucky friend! I used one of the blocks in my version of The Circuit Rider's Quilt. You did a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous to gift a quilt like that - what a beauty! I don't think I've ever made a sampler quilt - another quilt on the to do list!
