Sat Sampler Almost Finished

Hi everyone....well, I can't believe I did it. I finally finished my Saturday Sampler quilt top. My other two amigos, Joy and Yvette, finished theirs last week and the week before so I was feeling a bit depressed because we all started together but they were already done. It's really funny how all three of us made the original nine sampler blocks and then Yvette and I bought the additional three blocks. Joy not only bought the additional three blocks, she actually came up with four more that she had to "make up" using the Marti Michelle templates.....WOW ! Anyway, they came out great. Check out the other two amigos blogs for pictures of their Saturday Sampler quilts:

We all picked different sashing and border material. It's funny how we all finished them differently. Anyway, here is the quilt with the sashing added.




I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to finish mine and I kept thinking and thinking.....hmmmm, how would it look with corner stones?????

Actually, I think the corner stones added a lot and it also helped to break up the business of the border fabric. Here is a closeup of the corners !!! I think Ms. Janet would be proud of me. I remembered with Craig's charity quilt that to add the corner stones I had to measure the inside seams to allow for the seam allowance......she's a wonderful teacher !!!! Love you Ms. Janet ! All that's left is making my backing and then pinning it so it can be quilted !
Anyway, enjoy my friends....it's Monday and I have to go watch Dancing with the Stars with Craig !!!
Love to all,
Karene

WOO HOO!!! It is beautiful!

The three amigos need to take a picture with our quilts. The two of you will have it quilted and mine will still be hanging on the banister. I still can't figure out how I want to quilt it.
