Dotty led a group of us in a fun sew-along for this sampler a couple of years ago. It was my first sampler. I loved working on the blocks, but I slowed to a crawl on the sashing part and am still working on putting mine together. Well done, Dotty!

Just as a little bit of encouragement, Linda. You do not need to make all of the blocks. I made a variation using fewer sampler blocks and in a different lay out repeating one of the blocks (48) to create an illusion of rows. It really is on-point. It is one of the examples in the book.

Thank you so much WMUTeach - I quite agree with your comments to Linda !
