First Pieced Quilt

Though I've made many quilts over the years, none of them were really genuine pieced quilts, so when a class was offered, I decided to take advantage of it. The idea was that each week, we'd learn to do a type of quilt block, so it is sort of a sampler quilt. Each row of the quilt is made of a particular type of block. Rather than buy new fabric for the quilt, I used mostly scraps left over from dresses and aprons made for work at the living history museum. Thus it has also become a bit of a memory quilt in that when I see certain pieces, they make me think of things I've made and worn in the past. At the end, once it was finished, I had it machine quilted and hung it on my wall.
