Americana Sampler

 Completed a couple more blocks on the Americana Sampler.  The first was the Country Angel.  I first made this one using Helen Stubbins Faux Applique technique.  It came out nice, but did not fit into my Americana Sampler Quilt - so I made a baby doll bag with it that my granddaughters love to play with.

So I decided to make one using David Taylor starch applique method.  I am please how it came out and using the French General fabrics like the other blocks.  This block is so far the largest block coming in at 18" finished.

My next block is the Rambler block which is a 12" block.   Rather than fight to keep all the seams at 1/4" and the points from getting chopped off, I used EQ8 to come up with a paper piecing pattern.  I do love this block which will be on-point in the quilt.  This will be the block that I do a lesson on at the March Stitchin' Friends meeting.  We will be meeting at SewEndipitous Quilt shop, owned by my dear friend Lisa.
