The perfect 10 Sampler quilt Reveal is here!

It's Perfect 10 time over at Fat Quarter Shop again, and it's finally time to show you the full completed Sampler Quilt! Woo Hoo!!
Over the last several weeks we have been making blocks from the Perfect Ten book to put together this sampler quilt. So that means if you buy the book, and the perfect 10 ruler that goes with the book, you'll get to make 16 different quilts, PLUS this one!

I'm pretty excited, because I was asked to be a sewer for the book, so the blocks in the book were made by me, and now I finally get to show you my Bella Beauties in a completed quilt!!

Since I am also a long arm quilter, I got to have some fun with circles for this one! All my circles here were quilted on my Handi Quilter Long Arm and they were all done freehand, so no pattern was followed. I thought it looked great with the Ombre Confetti Metallic by V & C backing fabric, this quilt is just so innocent and fun, don't you think!! If you'd like to use some of the Bella Solids that I used, here are the links...
Pink Bella Solid Tea Rose
Yellow Bella Solid Goldenrod

Background Bella Solid White

These blocks are really fast and fun, you could likely get these sampler blocks done in a weekend, if you set your mind to it. I hope you'll try it!!

Hey y'all,
I'm Gina Tell

Thanks for checking in with my blog. I started quilting around 2003 when I first moved to Austin Texas, and I knew absolutely nothing about a sewing machine! My journey started with a lot of phone calls to my BFF Jody, in Washington, because social media didn't really exist at that time. I will be telling some of the ridiculous stories of my early sewing days, some handy sewing tips, and sharing some of the fun sewing projects I do for the Fat Quarter Shop!
