My first quilt finish of 2016

It feels good to check one project off my list in 2016.

This quilt is made from the Ambleside line by Brenda Riddle for Moda and the pattern is from the Moda Bake Shop by Melissa Corry. The name of the pattern is All In A Row.

I started this six months ago at our July retreat. I've had the top finished and the quilt basted for some time but wasn't sure how to quilt it. I finally just dug in and started - it took me almost a week since I can't work at the machine for very long at one time. It's far from perfect, but now I'm not afraid to quilt the next one!

It finishes at 58" X 70".

Lovely quilt - great pattern and great fabrics - can't go wrong. Simple quilting I think is the best for a sampler.

That looks so soft and pretty. I love the checkered sashing between the rows.

This is beautiful, Mary! So....I'm still waiting to feel like sitting down at the sewing machine. Ugh. So frustrating.

So pretty. It has a sample cross stitch feel about it.
