The first set is all done and quilted and I'm calling it "Sampler Strings" after the vertical string sashing.
Someone else had given me 3 more blocks from the same block-of-the-month so I had 15 all together. Thank you ladies!! All I had to do was add some sashing and put it together.
The quilt got my usual quick, simple stipple. You've gotta love those fun fabrics in bright, saturated colors! If you would like to get involved with Covered in Love check out our main page for details or see our April block drive here.
I got to deliver 8 more quilts to the chaplains yesterday and hear updates and stories. He told me that so often the quilt that they chose (somewhat randomly) to take to a family turns out to be the perfect one with a color, pattern, or fabric that has special significance to them! It's amazing how these things work out :)

LOVE your Sampler Strings quilt!! You used such an unusual setting, but it REALLY works!! I'm going to have to remember this for my next set of sampler blocks. Thanks for the inspiration.
