Default Splendid Sampler

Ok, OK I was doing the Gypsy Wife and have done all the blocks. Now need to join them with strips. I realized how big is is and am not in a hurry!
So I started the 365 Challenge but found it was more a job of work and not what I wanted to do now.

Then I found this wonderful "Splendid Sampler" which has 6" blocks of many different styles and colors.
THAT is what I was looking for - FUN not WORK. Some of my blocks are not yet finished - the 2nd picture needs antennae to make the corners into butterflys (another job for my dear cousin as well as finishing the decorative stitches on the blue flowers).

A new block comes out twice a week and so far are easy to keep up with. I'm doing past ones and the current ones, too.
So here are some pictures of blocks I've done and a link to the information:

Thanks for looking!

I belong to a group of about 10 quilters that have been together since the beginning of Splendid. We meet once a week at 8am and share our tips and problems we are having with the blocks. It has been so much fun using different techniques. We sit on the edge of our chairs awaiting each block release. It is a real commitment and a lot of work but we sure are enjoying the process. I have come to believe that is the enjoyment of quilting - ENJOY THE PROCESS!!!

I have been saving all the blocks on my computer for another item on my bucket list! Who knows when I will get to it?

That is an interesting block of the earth especially with the stitching and fabric you selected.
