I'm not so crazy about her border either...sorry Noriko. But, I do love what she did with the blocks. You're right, feline fanatic, it's not a true sampler, but it looks like one from a distance, which I think is part of its clever charm. I'd like to do either...a true sampler, or a variation on a block. I have a lot of small scraps, like 2" sqs and 1" strips. I haven't tried applique yet and I'm not sure I want to....maybe. I'll check out the 365 day challenge quilt. Thanks for the tips.
