Topeka Rose


I just finished this block named Topeka Rose. It measures 20" square. The quilt is Carrie Hall's Sampler which is a collection of blocks by Barbara Brackman. This one was a little tough for me. Some of these pieces are large and move around very easily. I had to rip out and re-align in a few places. I think it came out okay overall. 

Here are my blocks so far. I can actually sew them together since these pieces make up the left side of the quilt. It's so nice to see some progress! The next block includes Y seams which I haven't done in ages. This next block might take even longer!!

  3. Topeka Rose is a nice addition to the other beautiful blocks, Rosemary. What size is this quilt? Looks like it is going to be a big one.
