What terrific ideas! Thank you everyone. I am really going to consider the 365 challenge. The finished project is lovely.

I made a sampler quilt years ago when I went to the Ag Center for the quilting group. Each square was suppose to be a different color but I decided to use 1 color consistently in each block along with other colors. It is our our king size bed right now and I use it every summer which reminds me it is time to change it for an autumn quilt. Good luck with the 365 challenge. Keep us posted on your progress.

Check out the many books of Block patterns and put together your own design. You can also experiment with different settings. The favorite I've done is a "streak of lightning" setting.

Also, remember you can go to the Archives on this site and get the BOM patterns from previous years to do a sampler. I will see if I can find the one I did in 2013 and edit and post it here.

There are SO many sources for free sampler quilts.

If you get the opportunity to buy Judy Hopkins' "501 Rotary Cut Quilt Blocks", get it!! It has 501 blocks, but even better, it tells you exactly how to cut each block in various sizes - ranging from 4" up to 12" (and even a few larger than 12").

I'm actually working on a sampler quilt right now and I've picked out the various blocks from that very book. My blocks are 9".

And I started the Moda Shuffle blocks last year... then (as usual), ADD kicked in, and that is now a UFO.... which reminds me that I need to pull that for the UFO challenge.

I was thinking the same as Paperprincess.

I subscribe (free) to Block of the Day, which will give you a block everyday. You can usually click back several weeks of the month to download that block.
