It took a little figuring and several coping strips but my version of the Ohio Collection quilt is finally together. The final version is 80.5 x90.5 a little larger than the pattern.
This may turn out to be one of my favorite quilts. I think because it was difficult and is so different from any other quilt I have ever made.
After all the stress from putting Ohio Collection together I decided I needed something quick and simple to stitch. When I first started quilting I bought a lot of kits - not so much anymore. I have had this Shadowbox kit for several years, too many to remember.
Oops, I see I got the two end blocks on the first row reversed. Why can’t I remember to take the picture before I sew the whole thing together?
Until the next time.
Nancy

Nancy. Your quilt is just gorgeous. I love everything about it. I'm still working on my blocks, but I can see the end in sight.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks wonderful! It is very much like the Ohio Miami Valley samplers and I can see how it will be one of your favorites :0)
ReplyDeleteYour finish is amazing! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the illusion of shadows in quilts like this. One day I am going to try it. : )
LOL!! Oh, Nancy, the Ohio Collection quilt is wonderful!! Hey, I am still trying to figure out your "wrong" blocks!! In my mind, IF they are skeewampus, it just makes your quilt uniquely yours!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is just fabulous! Love seeing this quilt come together.:)
ReplyDeleteOhio collection looks wonderful - such an interesting and charming collection of blocks!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Nancy, the Ohio Collection is just fabulous! There are so many different kinds of blocks that your eyes just travel over the whole quilt trying to see what else there is. You did a beautiful job!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish. I'm sure it was like a puzzle getting everything to fit, but you did it!
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is just beautiful!! I love how it turned out and just everything about it. I love the detail and interest of each block. You really did an outstanding job on this beauty! I can't wait to see how you quilt it. This is going to be such a wonderful heirloom to cherish. Great job!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great layout you designed, Nancy. It's gorgeous! Yes, the digital camera is fast becoming my most used notion in the sewing room. Thanks for sharing. I invite you to link it to WIPs Be Gone for yours has gone into the WTBQ pile. Bet it won't be there for long. Are you going to hand quilt it?
ReplyDeleteWow Nancy, your Ohio Collection Sampler turned out STUNNING!

I really love how your Ohio collection turned out! You did a wonderful job in putting these beautiful blocks together so well. And your "quick project" looks lovely too.
ReplyDeleteYou did it! The blocks are all sewn together and everything looks good. The vibrant blue pulls your eye around the quilt. That and the blocks you chose to add to the quilt. What is your favorite block?
ReplyDeleteNancy what a beautiful result. I can see why it will become a favorite quilt, each block is special and unique.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that Ohio Collection top...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nancy! Your Ohio Collection quilt looks fabulous with all the blocks arranged together. Looks like it must have been quite a challenge.
