Lynnie, the kit I used (a present) had all the batik fabrics laser cut! Hard part was choosing the colors to match the pictures!

Also finished the top of an SAS quilt

and am finally hand sewing the facing on my beloved Dresden quilt! Next? I dunno! Several layouts are shown for this sampler and I may choose more that one!

Thanks for following me!

The SAS is from a kit: http://www.flynnquilt.com/shop/Pre-C...t-Sea-Kits.htm

As you can see there are many choices of colors and sizes at a very reasonable price considering the pieces are all cut for you!

Thanks Kitsie, I already have fabric and am on a tight deadline so by the time the kit got to me from the US I would have a really tight time frame. The prices do seem very reasonable. I might use the photographs to help me plan my fabrics.

There's nothing more instructive than a sampler! Yours is lovely.

Thanks Kitsie, it's the SAS. I'm going to make it is a present for my sister's birthday 4th April. I've purchased batiks to make it but want it to graduate in colour to get the movement in. It's probably my most ambitious quilt yet so I'm a little worried and may take you up on the offer to PM you. I don't think I've the patience to do the splendid. I'm making a sampler quilt with 24 blocks and it has taken me around 4 years, I'm doing it QAYG and am at the stage of sewing the blocks together so nearly done.
