Pioneer Braid Sampler

Finally finished my block for Linda G. today.  Decided to do a pioneer braid sampler quilt square.   Went with this design since I had a long piece of the braid left over from another quilting project and it was a good way to use up the scraps.  Now I don't feel so guilty about not using that piece.

Of course, the main project that this came from is still a UFO (UnFinished Object) but I am hoping to get it done in April (this year!).  I have only been working on it on and off for over three years so setting that as a goal should not be too unrealistic I hope.  I started it with my engineering friend at a class and she finished hers several years ago and gave it to her son for his bedroom.  (Talk about no pressure there.....)

I think the problem is it is such muted earthy colors and there is so many different fabrics.  I know it is supposed to be that way but I like bright geometric patterns in quilts.  I want to do this again in just two or three colors but it will probably be a while.
