Finally found a block of time to finish up the Oakhaven Designs "Sea of Red, White, and Blue" sampler into a mini-quilt for AAQI. I picked up the blue and white fabric in a clearance bin of fat quarters at the fabric store. I almost left empty-handed before I noticed it and thought it was exactly what I wanted.
Also finished up Carol's iStitch SAL. The last part had personalization and I didn't want to add any monogram or date since I'm not sure how I will use this piece. So I found a little squirrel design to substitute in the lower right. It's a slight modification of the one in A Mon Ami Pierre's Six Mains sampler. And there was supposed to be a date in the block below the scissors, but I changed that motif a little to fill in the empty space. This was a fun SAL and a ton of work for Carol. I hope she knows we all appreciated her efforts and generosity.

Super lovely quilt Annie!! I love it! Carol's piece looks great too and I love your adaptation. I have that pattern too and have often wanted to switch them around and do my first quaker pattern. Love your colours you chose!

Things are looking quite patriotic around your blog today, Annie! Love your quilt--the fabric is just perfect for the design--I'm sure it will bring in a nice bid for the AAQI :)
Congratulations on finishing the SAL, too--that little squirrel looks so cute in the lower corner!
Any more red, white and blue stitching waiting in the wings?

It came out super!!! I love it!
Looks awesome Annie!!! Great work sweetie :D
Both of these projects are beautiful, Annie, and I especially love the sampler quilt!
Absolutely love your little quilt. The corners on the back are a great way to add your label details. Your i-stitch SAL is gorgeous, I've seen so many different versions of these and they are all so lovely.
This quilt looks gorgeous. And you just stayed with the same colour range when stitching Carol's SAL. Those changes you made look very good, and they are also a kind of personalization, aren't they?
wow!!!! LOVE that quilt! it's gorgeous! Both pieces are beautiful!
You've been busy being creative yet again! LOVE your quilt. It turned out fantastic Annie :o)
How adorable! I think your changes just added a personal touch by themselves and they blend in perfectly.
Oh, Annie! The mini quilt turned out so nice! The fabrics you chose are perfect and the finishing is just stunning. Well done.
Beautiful and perfectly finished!

I love the little quilt finish! The fabrics you used are absolutely perfect!
Great job on the quilt, Annie! I love the fabrics that you used. Your iStitch finish is adorable--I love that little squirrel guy!
Beautiful mini quilt and the edging around the sampler looks like a tatted edge. Beautiful work, Annie.
I love your little quilt and what a neat way of personalizing it on the back.
Your SAL piece looks great too - love the little changes you made.
