This is not really white on white; it’s white and off-white. This was my first quilt, and I made the blocks from patterns and techniques in a Georgia Bonesteel book. The sampler consists of twelve 12″ machine-pieced and hand-quilted blocks, each with a 3″ sashing hand quilted with cables, making it 54″ x 72″. At one point, my scissors slipped, so my initials are free-motion machine embroidered in one corner to cover the slip. I lap quilted each block and then put them all together, finishing in 1985, when the quilt won a blue ribbon at our county fair.
Here is a slightly better photo, taken at a quilt show that spotlighted members’ first quilts.
