I was never much into sampler quilts, but I joined in with a group making a star sampler quilt. Each person picked a star block, and everyone made on in her colors to go into her quilt. I had to stretch a little, make blocks I never would have chosen. In the end, I really liked the quilt I came up with. Here's a picture of the finished blanket:
