Need Sampler Quilt Ideas
#15
Craftsy has several BOMs that are free. I did the one that Amy Gibson was instructor for in 2013 and enjoyed it. Also Pat Sloan offers one on her website, I have been collecting the blocks but have not made any of them yet.

I made a sampler quilt for a dear friend and I knew she loved red, white and blue. I went thru many of my books and magazines and just pulled out blocks that were all the same size and it was my own design. I bet you can do something like that. It is fun to just finish one block at a time and you feel so much accomplishment.

In 2013 I did the aurifil DOM (designer of the month) blocks and found them really fun, and a great setting. Here is a picture of how mine turned out [ATTACH=CONFIG]559187[/ATTACH] When you click on the link, scroll down to the 2013 DOM and each of the blocks look like they are still available if you like it. http://www.aurifil.com/patterns

I design my own. I have made sampler quilts from lap size to king just by adding more blocks. I pick a size (12 inch blocks) is my favorite. Then I select patterns from quilt books, magazines, internet, library and make each block different. The really beautiful thing about a sampler, if you select a pattern that is difficult, you only have to make one. I like to do different settings and different pieced borders on each quilt.
