Will the quilt police come after me if I just pick whatever blocks I want to learn for a sampler quilt?
Thought I'd just start down the list at quilterscache making whatever 12" blocks tickle my fancy and look challenging. Then just try different layouts until I like it. The quilt would be king size so I'd need quite a few blocks! |
That is how I would do it.

Quilting is like eating. You pick what u like not what everyone thinks u should eat. Just make sure your finished blocks r the same size and your good to go
|
Let them just try to come for you. It's a wonderful idea. We've got your back (I also knit and have very long needles at the ready).
|
I don't see any problem with that. Isn't that what a sampler quilt should be? I say go for it.
|
Your quilt--YOU get to choose! Good luck on your project--we want to see pics when you're done!

Samplers are fun to do, gives you a variety of blocks to learn. |
No quilt police. The choice is all yours. Enjoy.

The quilt would be king size so I'd need quite a few blocks! Why couldn't you pick whatever blocks you wanted to do. It is your quilt and you can do whatever you please. I remember way back in the 80s, someone told me , "A little bit of yellow goes a very long way." Well, my favorite color is yellow and a "little bit" is not nearly enough! Just look at my avatar. Good luck with your project and do it your way! Kathy Made for my DH (My Avatar) [ATTACH=CONFIG]111602[/ATTACH] |
