So I will tell/show you more about the holiday later, but first I will show you a finish that was a secret until my mother in laws birthday. I finished the 4x5 random sampler in blues, greens, greys for her! I promised to finish it in the second quarter for the finish along and I almost made it! You can read more about the making here.
So the short version is that I used the blocks made with two rounds of the 4x5 modern quiltbee. And I added a lot of fabric panels, some flying geese, some extra blocks (the basket, HST's) and made it into a quilt! It's not a very traditional lay-out. I wanted to make it a little different, more playful, with more movement, more randomness to it.
I made it for my mother in law for her birthday, but also for taking care of my boys so very often and for being a hardcore blog fan. She really supports my sewing and quilting a lot, so she deserved a fullsized result! A lovely result for a lovely granny.
Though I didn't make all the blocks my self, I like that there is a cross in there, for she is a nurse, and a granny square for a granny and last but not least I used a shirt of her sons to make the extra blocks. It's a tiny blue and white stripe!
