Quilt - Completed!

Over the weekend, I finally finished my sampler quilt - yay! I really wanted to bring it completed to church on Sunday, so the days beforehand were spent sewing, sewing, and sewing some more. The last stitches were made in the car Sunday morning. Since my friends Alli and Meredith were inspired to make quilts of their own, they were interested in seeing mine. They also showed us the squares they have finished so far, which were very pretty! :)

Yesterday I washed my quilt to remove all the pink marking pencil and to get it nice and clean. Now it is all ready to be folded up and tucked into my hope chest. Of course, I first had to spread it out on Dad and Mom's bed to take a picture. :)

This project had been so much fun to work on! Now I'm working on the matching pillow shams. These ought to be interesting since I have no pattern and no idea what I'm doing. :)

Previous posts I've made about the progress of my quilt are here, here, and here.
