Twelve Years Later

In 2014, my daughter and family were moving to Alexandria MN to buy a dairy farm.
We all were so excited they were going to be able to have their own place.  Of course, Mom had to visit and make sure all was OK.  I loved they town which boasted of 4 quilt shops.
One such shop had a kit called "Colorful Quilts - Journey" Sampler.  I bought the kit.
I have no idea why as the color combination was not my style.

At that time, I bought anything in the hopes I would learn to love it.  I started the blocks but could never finish them.  For years, I have pulled the project, considered giving it away, and then returned it to the drawer for future review.

Recently, the project came out again.  I sew with cousins (one day a week) and took it as a show in tell.  Finally, I had decided to put it on the free table at guild meeting.  My cousin said she wanted it.  So home it went and I have committed to make a block a day until it is finished.

There are 18  blocks all total.  Some I truly do not like and have decided to replace these with sampler blocks from another pattern.

To date there are 10 blocks done...here they are.
