I think those are both scrappy quilts. When I hear "sampler", I usually think of a quilt with different types of blocks, not a variety of new fabrics. I made 2 "scrappy Irish chain" quilts. For the first one, I went to the store and bought a variety of Fat Eighth fabrics that I pieced willy-nilly throughout the chain. For the second one, I used the leftover fabrics from the first quilt ... plus a few others I had lying around ... plus before it's finished, I'll have to grab a bit more from LQS to make it big enough.
