La Passacaglia - Quilt Top Complete

I started working on this quilt in early 2016 (see my progress), and now the quilt top is complete!  I just love it, but my husband seems to be obsessed with knowing how many little pieces there are.  I just refuse to figure it out, but he guesstimates 2,500 pieces.  So, now it is done and I'll be pondering how I'll quilt it.  I'm trying to not overthink it and go with a large meandering or large swirl quilting pattern, or maybe something like concentric circles that mirror each rosette.  Check back to see what I settle on.  It should be soon; I already have the quilt binding (solid black) ready to go.

Blue & White Sampler Quilt - Six Inch Blocks Complete

I have just finished the rest of the six inch quilt blocks for my Blue & White Sampler quilt!  I probably should have posted them in smaller batches, but I'm anxious to keep going.  I previously posted the first eight of the six inch blocks and now here are eleven more.

See each of the blocks below along with an updated layout of all of my Blue & White Sampler blocks so far.

Blue & White Sampler - Six Inch Blocks

As I mentioned in my last post, I have moved on to making the 6 inch blocks for the Blue & White Sampler quilt I have in progress.  It's very familiar territory, making smaller blocks, after all that time working on the Farmer's Wife quilt blocks!  That quilt, by the way, is still awaiting my attention, currently in strips rolled up on the shelf.

This is the first eight of the 6 inch blocks; Pineapple, Hunter Star, Amish Star, Rising Star, Star Burst, Center Nine Patch, Ohio Star, and Christmas Star.
