In 2016 Designers from all over the world generously shared a free block a week - 6" blocks with different techniques. I sewed along with a couple of other friends and it became our Tuesday project.
I took out a bunch of pastels from my scraps and stash and purchased some pale pink which would be suitable for sashing....
The top was finished in 2017 and then I used up lots of the leftover fabrics to make up the backing....
December 2021 I custom quilted it....
So many different ideas and techniques....
I totally love samplers like this....
I have finally sewn down the binding and have it finished.....
I believe the blocks were made into a pattern book .. and there was a 2nd version of Splendid Sampler also available as a book. Not sure if either of these are still available.
Thank you to all the designers that made this possible..... I really love samplers, especially when they are in smaller blocks...
There are heaps of progress pictures with more detail of some of the blocks going through my posts HERE (just as a reference)
WOW. Girl, you made every block shine in your beautiful quilt!! I love it. Congratulations on a stunning result for all your labour. :-)
