'Daddy's Little Girl' - A French General Sampler Quilt


Exactly one year ago I made a quilt and for one reason and another never blogged about it - so finally here it is:

my Daddy's Little Girl sampler quilt



Lots of pics, the usual specs but no words.

Quilt back fabrics - La Petite Ecole by French General for Moda
Quilting Thread - Aurifil 50/2 - 2905 Army Green
Finished quilt size - approx 62" x 46"

      Thanks Gertie, do I remember you doing some cushions a while back with the same La Petite Ecole panel - if it wasn't you then I've no idea who it was! :D

    Another stunning quilt captured in a fantastic setting. Snow and sunshine and the Metropolis skyline in the background. True eye candy.

    This is beautiful. I have that fabric but hadn't found a pattern I liked. A sampler is a great idea. Looks good.

      Absolutely Jan, French General fabrics have such a shabby chic, aged feel to them that the traditional sampler quilt really suits them :D

    I especially like the back of this lovely quilt, the whole thing is very cozy. The straight line quilting is a great compliment to the whole. Visiting from Val's link up.
