PRAIRIE PATH CLASS SAMPLE #4

 Finally, this project is finished and it can be relegated to my quilt archives.  This is the final Prairie Path Class Sample from 1994 to be quilted, bound, and labeled.  This was the smallest of the bunch at 9 blocks, suitable for a wall hanging or table topper.  Because of the color way, I'll probably use it at Christmas this year.

THE STATS:  Prairie Path Class Sample #4, 1994-2025, 27"x27", Machine pieced, Machine quilted.

Are you tired of seeing photos of Prairie Path's journey into the  different fabrics and sizes of the same design? 

 I am; so I'm off to start a new and different project.

PRAIRIE PATH CLASS SAMPLE #3

Here is the largest (at 50" square) of the Prairie Path class sample tops I found recently.  It has been a challenge to quilt on my domestic machine, because of its size and my physical limitations.  It has also been the most fun to work on as I examined each different fabric.  There are some great fabrics in it from the early 1990s.  Once again, this one contains a great stripe and border print.  I wish I still had some scraps left to include in future quilts.

Sample #3 has the same alternate block, the Pinwheel, as Sample #1, but contains 49 total blocks.  Samples #1 and #2 each had 25 total blocks.

THE STATS:  Prairie Path Class Sample #3, 1994-2025, 50"x50", Machine pieced, Machine quilted.

PRAIRIE PATH CLASS SAMPLE #2

Prairie Path Class Sample #2 is now finished.  It is basically the same design and size as Class Sample #1, except it has a different alternate block, a sawtooth star.  Alternate block in #1 was a pinwheel.  My point was to offer options to the workshop students.

My favorite part of this sample is the placement of the lights and darks.  Also, I love the border fabric!
