Sue, I am drooling over your photos! I've hardly met a sampler I didn't love.
|
I started a scrappy sampler by using the scraps from each quilt I make. I have no color theme except they are all on black background and are different sizes 12 1/2, 9 1/2, 6 1/2. I just make one new block at the end of every quilt. I have no idea how many I have or what I'm doing with them but it's fun. Probably end up with more than one quilt and will likely appliqué mine.
Sue...OMGosh....your work is stunning. Love them all but absolutely LOVE patriotic quilt. Awesome. |

Here's what I did with one of mine. I like the separation of blocks, too.

I really like the shadow box setting for your sampler quilt Kristie. The quilt is beautiful. I also really like Teen's idea of using scraps from each quilt she finishes to make a block. I may be brave and buy a bunch of fabric from a fabric story or family as Paper Princess suggests. I tried that once, and was very unhappy with how the quilt came out. But it was one of my very early quilts, so I hope I have learned to design and/or use the fabric better.

Yup, those are the ones I didn't think would wash well! It was a fun sampler.

I am doing that sampler at the moment kitsie! It is my introduction to machine sewing/ongoing long project for the year. It is all in pinks and greys and I am planning to do shadow box setting as well I think

[ATTACH=CONFIG]586846[/ATTACH]On point sampler with sashing. This was in my pictures section but I did not make it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]586847[/ATTACH]This is the one I made. How different it looks with colored framing triangles.

I would like to do a sampler quilt so that I can make several different blocks that I like, but only have to make them one time each. I hope to improve my piecing skills by attempting more difficult blocks. I tend to prefer more traditional blocks. I make a lot of samplers, for just this reason. Sometimes, I limit myself to specific fabrics (e.g., a bundle of coordinating fat quarters) or even specific color families (e.g., pink and brown scraps). As you will see in the "Dear Jane" quilt above, the blocks are arranged in "Trip Around the World" fashion. <strike></strike><strike></strike>Here's one I made a few years ago from "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler": [ATTACH=CONFIG]586848[/ATTACH] And here's a Civil War sampler using some of the same blocks: [ATTACH=CONFIG]586849[/ATTACH]<strike></strike> |
Wow! What a feast for the eyes!
