Welcome from St. Paul, Minnesota. I love to do samplers. I am in the process of making a 35 block sampler for the Susan G. Komen Three Day Walk here in St. Paul in August. It will be raffled off after the walk. Mine are 12x12. I write a book to go along with the quilt. I try to find the origin of the block and have been having a lot of problems finding the names (I think they change over the years.
Anyhow, enjoy the Quilting Board - where you learn a lot and you will find that each and every quilter becomes a part of your quilting family. They are great, each and every one. Edie
