Blue & Cream Antique Wedding Sampler finished

I actually finished this Antique Wedding Sampler last December and now I've finally been motivated to write about this finish after being inspired by Karen's post on the AWS blocks she is making with a friend. And thanks again to the G'nT Sisters for their help with fabric, colour and design choices.  Once again Katrina did an amazing job of quilting to enhance every individual block.  This post will be very photo heavy  - please enjoy!

 



Isn't it always great when you find the perfect fabric for binding?


AWS block #10
AWS block #9



AWS block # 24

AWS block #5

AWS block #19

AWS block #23

AWS block #22

AWS block #25
AWS block #1



AWS block #2

AWS block #17

AWS block #13

AWS block #16
AWS "J Block"
AWS block #3
AWS block #12 
AWS block #14

AWS #15
AWS block #20
AWS block #18

AWS block #4

AWS block #21

AWS block #6

This is my favourite block which I modified by doing all of the flowers in broderie perse and changing the vase shape. I love the way Katrina quilted this block to make it look as though the vase is on a pedestal.

AWS block #7
It's a pity this wasn't on my 17 UFOs in 2017 list but I'll be back soon with a winter update on the challenge.
Cheers
Carole

  5. Your AWS is so beautiful! I love blue, if I ever make a AWS, I'll make mine is blues too. I've read Karen's tutorial on EPP the first block, I can do that! I'm actually considering making this quilt now. Thank you for the close up photos! Happy stitching on your 17 UFO's.

  8. Oh my, she most definitely did a wonderful job. It distresses me when someone takes a beautifully hand appliqued quilt and does an overall machine quilting pattern. Katrina really did a wonderful job showcasing each one of your beautiful blocks. Just beautiful!

  9. Carole, you've been an absolute inspiration and because of you I decided to take on the AWS quilt (thanks for the shout out). Your blue version is stunning and I particularly like that you made changes to make the quilt uniquely your own. The quilting is fabulous and just adds to the overall beauty. I agree about the binding and you did indeed find the perfect binding for this masterpiece!

  16. Fantastic finish Carole! You've adapted it so beautifully to your blue colour scheme and I love the binding choice too. Most of us would find it a huge challenge to make just one AWS...but this is your second!
