Amy H's Sister Choice

I'm sooo on a roll!  Once the "ice" was broken (aka January doldrum) - I'm a ball of fire!

Note - this is the block I did for my very first ever quilt...back in the early 70's...quilt was in more states than I ever visited...since it ended up in my son's semi and traveled west of the Mississippi River - to the North in NY state - and several states around!  Sigh - poor thing saw the best of time and the worst of times - as now it is in a land fill someplace.  SIGH!

I finished Jackie T. and the next day loaded up Amy's!  I had the plan of working on it tomorrow while the super bowl is on TV (I'm not a football fan) So I loaded her up - wound the bobbins... stitched down the top and thought I'd try it out...check the tension..you know.  Well before I knew it - I had it 1/2 done.  Few more passes and it was time for a break.  A quick trip into town to the post office and got a sandwich and home again.  Back downstairs I took 3 more passes...decided it was time to quit and catch up on FB. 




Next week will be Amy's Black and White sampler...what do you think....Varigated or solid?

I love the look of that black/gray/white variegated. That would probably be my first choice. Can't wait to see what you do! Eve in GA
