I agree, not a big fan of samplers either. This is a stunning quilt. I like that you used a simple chain between the blocks.

OH my goodness, that is beautiful! Awesome job!

That is just beautiful.

Thank you for your lovely comment, I love your son's comment that is so special.I know it was from Fons and Porter magazine at least 3 years ago.

WOW! That's striking! Great job!!

I'm a big fan of sampler quilts.
Yours is wonderful, I love how you added the alternative pattern.

ooooohhhh!! I like those colors!! Great job!

Once again Kudos to you!!! When you said yellow and black, my first thought was a bumblebee quilt. Imagine my surprise when the picture opened. I really love this one.

That is stunning!

Wow, those alternating blocks really set the pieced ones off wonderfully.

Love your setting of the sampler blocks! My favorite version of a sampler ever! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!

I love the colors....

That is one of the nicest sampler quilts I've seen.. beautiful job

stunning quilt! Love the colors and the way you've used them in your sample blocks. Nice setting as well.

Very nice. I love the fabric colors. Luann

Very, very pretty...love the color!

Stunning colours. A brave choice for my taste but it really works and has inspired me to try it one day. Love it! Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful! I love this quilt. Your fabric choices could not be more perfect, including that great border, and maybe especially the little stripe sashing around each block. This is one gorgeous quilt. Congratulations!

Beautiful sampler quilt. You did a very nice job on it.

I've always thought samplers would not be something I would like to make...until that one. Wonderful quilt!

Nice sampler. Good idea for retirement.

that is striking --!

It is very beautiful!

Beautiful quilt,

A great sampler

Beautiful. Those colors together are very stunning.

Love the colors!! Great job :-)

Beautiful! Great colors. I love sampler quilts.

Great job - I love the setting you used.

That's a great quilt! I love it.

This is BEAUTIFUL! I'm not a big fan of sampler quilts, but I LOVE this! I think it's the fabric with black spec and the quilting! GORGEOUS!

I actually have a bunch of sampler blocks from a friendship swap that I haven't put together yet. I think they would look SO MUCH BETTER if I offset them like you did. What a great idea!

Very pretty !!

Why have I not thought of yellow and black!!?? I love love the combination!! And your quilt really brings this out. You did a great job. I love how the sampler blocks are all connected with the other block....really like how you arranged these. Makes this quilt so striking...great job!!

What a wonderful quilt I LOVE the way you used the alternate block to put it together but the use of the narrow strip of stripe ties everything together so nicely. There is a great WOW factor there and you should enter it in some shows.

BrendaK and anyone else who was wondering, this is from Fons & Porter magazine Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/June 2011. It was put out in 3 parts and is called Civil War Sampler. I just downloaded all 3 issues, but the Setting Block is in Part 3, which is what I was most interested in.
