First....I finished the top for my Primitive Sampler.
I used the same dark gray and added a 1 inch border. Then I added a 2 1/2" border of the light gray. I love it. It is now on the pile of quilts to be hand quilted.
My Close Second is the Quilt Doodles 2014 BOM.
The picture is a little wonky and you can't see all of it. That's because it is so big that I have going sideways on my design wall. I also noticed that where I have my blog address in the photo that one of the rows fell off the design wall.
But at any rate...I have now emptied another project box. Today I will finish sewing the rows together. BTW...although the fabric looks gray it is a blue check.
The weather continues to be cold. On Sunday we expecting a high of 12 degrees. So I see lots of sewing and quilting in my future.
Thanks for stopping by. Keep warm and keep busy.
Hugs, Cathy

Your sampler turned out very nice.
I was thinking grey must be your color of choice for backgrounds.:) When I enlarge the photo I can detect the little checks. It is a very fun holiday quilt!
What a great looking sampler! The quilting is going to look fabulous on that quiet background.:)
Great finish--quilting is a great way to keep warm when the temps are so low
Both are great finishes and sure to keep the winter blahs away.
Your grey backgrounds make a wonderful neutral background. It gives it a more contemporary look. I like your new header.
I never used to be a fan of gray, but that's changing ... in no small part due to your choice of gray for the background of that fabulous sampler!
you are getting a lot done this winter so far.
The grey looks great with your sampler blocks.
We're super super cold here too -
stay in and sew :)
That Primitive Sampler is gorgeous. The borders look great and really frame the quilt nicely! Stay warm - minus 20 wind chill tonight.
