I have the Sylvia's Wedding Sampler. I haven't started it yet, but the blocks are beautiful. I read almost all of Jennifer C.'s novels. I really like the first ones. Didn't realize the book and patterns were so popular around the world!! Jackie, your colors for the Sylvia's Wedding Sampler sound beautiful!! I guess we will have a new acronym, SWS!!
I plan to make a, "Not your Grandmother's Tumbling Blocks." It only uses triangles and is strip pieced. Pattern is from Marci Baker.

I have been seeing alot about the book and patterns "Sylvia's Wedding Sampler" There are numerous web sites about it and lots of pictures of the quilts being made, several groups have been formed, sharing tips and some exchanging blocks. It is a world wide thing, with groups in France and Germany and many other countries. There are 140 patterns in the book. A few of my friends and myself have bought the book (Amazon) and are making it. The patterns are beautiful, Im making mine in pastels. Pinks, lav, soft greens, yellow, aqua and blue.

Yes, I did, too! I watched the YouTube with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson. I could not inagine how I could make a flying geese block with only 1 seam! But it does work.

Thanks so much for the link to Modern Quilt Guild! I love many of the "modern" quilts and this site will be a great way to spend some time. Recently I've been liking clean lines, clear colors, and lots of white. Good to see that other folks like them too!

I think there might be some RW repros made by either Jo Morton or Judie Rothermal--Williamsburg, Yorktown. Their websites might give you better answers. I would Google "RW fabric reproductions" and see what you come up with. Good luck.
