Quilted Wall Hanging

This little wall hanging is made from fabric acquired in a block exchange in our quilt group in Germany.  We traded five 5inch blocks and were to make something out of them  using only two other fabrics.  (I cheated and used three).  All of the small sampler blocks are paper pieced.  The saying underneath says, "Life is a patchwork of friends", and the stripe along the bottom is cross-stitched quilt blocks.  I won quilter's choice in the contest.  L.
