Kathy's Sampler Quilt


My mother-in-law is a great quilter and she has a great eye for color combinations.  She made this as a bed cover and it will look great!  I really like how the black sets off the blocks and the repeating 'Jacob's Ladder' blocks. This quilt has custom quilting throughout with a feather border.  I am posting a lot of pictures so that I can remember what I decided to do on each block.  My brain hurt by the end because each block required too many decisions.  I had to call Jenny when I was finally doing the border so she could tell me what to do because I could not make another decision.  She had a wonderful suggestion of doing a serpentine feather because the border was only 3.5 inches wide.  Thanks Jenny!
