I am thrilled with the completion of this quilt. Making a quilt with such a large group is an amazing way to get your quilting on.
This is my Anthologie quilt that I made from October 2018 to the end of March 2018. It was part of the #BariJQuiltAlong and took place on Bari’s blog here.
During the quilt along I felt supported, encouraged, and excited throughout.
If you find that you often stall in your quilt making, having a group or QAL to hold you accountable might keep you on pace a bit more.
Also if you are new to quilt making, I feel like sampler quilts are a great way to learn many different skills and techniques within the same project.
This pattern will be re-releasing in the fall of 2020.
Intentions of Anthologie
By making this quilt, which is my very first sampler design (oh, there will be more), I wanted to explore the style “bohemian”.
I hear that everywhere now! I’m drawn to that style a bit, I think.
I also wanted to add other crafts/skills into this quilt, such as: embroidery, tassels, crochet lace binding, and crochet.
I wanted to step up my hand quilting game too. And after all the hand quilting I put into this quilt, I really feel quite comfortable with that skill now. I’m also in love and want to add it to everything.
