I have been waiting for nice weather to take some pictures of the finished Patchsmith Sampler Quilt. Unfortunately, it is still raining here in England! But I can't wait a moment longer .......
I used left over scraps from fabrics used elsewhere in the quilt to make the scrap-happy border. It pulls all the blocks together to create a unified quilt.
The blocks were created using some of my favourite fabrics from my stash and scrap box. After all - that is what sampler quilts are all about - using what you have.
Every time I look at the quilt I see a favourite block and then another and then another. Here I love the cactus, the moonlit star, the ladybird, the beehive - oh heck - I just love them all.
If you want to have a closer look at each and every block then click on the Patchsmith Sampler Blocks tab above. You will find a photo of each block and, if you click on the photo, you will go through to the blog post for that block. You will find hints and tips and some cool ways to use the blocks together with bonus blocks.
Until next time ......
I ABsoLuTeLy love the quilt. It's so bright happy & cheery. Well done...xox

Hi! My copy just arrived today, and I love your applique especially! I've been starting to collect your patterns to make aprons and little mug rugs and so on, they are so adorable. :) I really enjoy the country feel of some of them..we live in rural Kansas, so it fits right in.

Thank you. I used whatever fabrics I had in my stash but I do like modern country fabrics.
