FINALLY making progress!! i put my scrappy sampler top together tonight (sorry about the light, i just finished at 2 a.m.--i couldn't stop!). i am LOVING it. it is about 65x65 inches. i am pondering adding a scrappy border...but since the rest of my stuff is in storage, there will be no border or basting until the end of july.
now i just need to figure out sashing for my mendocino pinwheel sampler and then i will be uber productive!!
I thought I finally finished my 3x6 Sampler Quilt top. But after looking at it for a while, it still looks too narrow to fit on a twin bed. So I've decided to add one more row of blocks to make it wider.
44x54 inches

finally used some sampler blocks I made many years ago. (2.5 years ago. not as bad as I thought.)

These are blocks from the 3 x 6 and 4 x 5 bees. I started collecting these over a year ago. My colors were black and white with a splash of bright. I love how it came together. Tag your block if you recognize it! blogged
I'm experimenting with filling in the empty squares in the previous pattern with cheese slopes and tiles. Here's a sample of some I tried.
Most of this pattern is from Seba Designs (free pattern), but I did make some changes and chose my own floss colors.
Liberty Sampler by Lizzie*Kate. Stitched in 2003 with Gentle Art Sampler Threads and Weeks Dye Works.
i bought this sampler pattern quite a while ago, and started making it last summer, when we were planning to adopt. since we didn't have a gender preference with the adoption, i veered from the colors on the pattern to a more gender-neutral palette.
and how things have changed since then.
i'm now due to give birth in two and half weeks to a baby girl. it's funny what life throws at you when you least expect it.
and i think what i like most about this piece is the untold story it contains, and the journey that we have taken over the course of it being made.

I enjoyed making this sampler from the book "All Star Sampler" by Roxanne Carter. It is rotary cut, machine pieced and machine and handquilted by me in 1999. I like it so much I plan to make another one someday.

This sampler’s exactly a hundred years old!
Nice combination of different styles and sizes, remarkable assortment of characters. (And an unfortunate name, by the way …)
