It is not the largest quilt I have finished this year but it is my creation.

A Trunk Full of Quilts 2016
Over at Whims & Fancies we are celebrating our finished projects. Last year I shared my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt, which is very special to me. This year I haven't finished anything on that scale. So I thought I would share my latest finish. This quilt was an easy quilt to create as the blocks are made from half square triangle units. The quilting on it was a totally different story. I have been learning to use rulers with my Westalee ruler foot and the circle ruler. It has been a learning curve plus throw in a machine that breaks down halfway through quilting it into the mix. It took me 6 months to finish the quilting.

A Trunk Full of Quilts
Over at Whins & Fancies Soma is running A Trunk Full of Quilts Show where we all can share a special project or two.
I wanted to select one that I have finished this year and why not select my latest completed project but one of my longest project. Nearly 3 years in the making all the blocks were hand pieced and I joined all the blocks and sashing by hand. Then the sew machine took over and I sewed the red border on and then I had the quilt professional machine quilted because of it size. It would've taken me a long time to quilt and I don't think I would of done it justice.
Have you guessed which one it is? You would've seen it recently on my blog when I was have binding troubles.
That's right. It is my Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt. It was so hard to take a photo of the whole quilt. It is the largest quilt I have made. It is now completed and I can cross it off my To Do List 2015. I don't believe it that it is finished but it is and I can work towards completing another project off my list but time is running out for the year. I wonder if I can get a couple more completed this year.
In the meantime have a look at some of the other beautiful creations in this Trunk Show. There are some many talented people out there. It just inspires you to head back to your sewing and stitch a bit more. There is the link on the right hand side of my blog, that will take you to Whims and Fancies.
Thanks Soma for hosting this special event.
