Inspiration can hit you like a bold of lightening when you least expect it. I was looking at some of the past winners at the International Quilt Association website and I came across this sampler quilt by Noriko Kido, of Japan. (Second Place, Traditional Pieced.)
http://www.quilts.org/winners.html Notice how she used the same block each and every time, but they all look completely different from one another. She did this by cleverly coordinating her colors and values so that a different, certain aspect of each block stood out. I love this idea!
I've been wanting to use up some of my small scraps and make a sampler quilt...just a block, or two a month, so I'm not overwhelmed. I've never tried a sampler before. It all seems like so much work. I'd love some ideas and tips. Thanks!
