I have made the Underground Railroad quilt. I would call that a sampler.

Our club did a sampler quilt together a couple of years ago. It was 4 -- 8" blocks per month, each set of 4 teaching different skills. We started with squares and rectangles, and advanced to half-square triangles, quarter-square, flying geese, curves, paper piecing, hand and machine applique, etc.

I designed the thing, and got the top made, but only have about half of it hand-quilted. At our local quilt show last year, two of the ladies submitted it; one hand quilted, the other machine quilted. I'm getting embarrassed that I don't have mine done -- and I designed it and taught it in our club!!! :oops: Sheesh!! Maybe this year. I have until October!

I've only made one lap size sampler quilt. And I hand quilted it using the 'big' stitch in black. I thought the black gave it a
antique or old look. I was satisfied with the quilt and have it displayed in the living room on an old ladder.
(For some reason my picture didn't load)?
