Continuing a Sampler Spree Quilt again and again

Here is the fourth installment of Splendid Quilt sampler blocks! This time I started with off-white solid scraps and a small piece of tan with taupe print. These were squares and chunks…not worth measuring.

Here is my tracking sheet. I got 10 blocks out of the background pieces. There may be more coming, but there were only 10 blocks that had a background and 1 other color of fabric. These block numbers are highlighted in blue. Please be tolerant of my sideways picture. I could not get it to load with the correct orientation! Aarrrgh!

Here are the 10 blocks. Some of these had 1″x 1″ pieces! That is a challenge, even for me…the lover of small pieces of fabric!


I did add a piece of black to the lightening bolt block. I wanted to use up that piece of purple paisley swirl, but did not have quite enough. I like the way it turned out with the extra color added.

I am to 48 out of 100 blocks! That is 48 percent of the blocks are made. Time to go plan which blocks to make next!

What are you planning to do today? (Nothing too devious, I hope!) Have a great day!

Later,

Lorrie

Continuing a Sampler Spree Quilt again

This batch of Sampler Spree blocks has an off-white background with a tan rose outline on it. It was a quarter yard piece width of fabric, plus a chunk that was 9″ x 12″.

I made 13 blocks using this background and scraps. Here is my graphic list.

I started with this olive green calico as the scrap.

Then I switched over to purple sparkling princess fabric.

I finished with green batik.

Here are the scraps that were left to add to my bin.

That is my eye candy for this week. Hope it inspires you to work on a project that you love.

What are you making today?

Later,

Continuing a Sampler Spree Quilt

While waiting for a new toilet to be installed and the septic tank to be pumped, I had to do something to keep my mind off wanting to use the bathroom! Being a teacher for many years was good training for this sadly.

I started with this pile of red and white scraps from a baggie of yard sale goodies.

These are from the Splendid Sampler book:

I made fifteen blocks.

Fourteen from the book and one from bonus half squares…

Here are the leftover red and white scraps…quite a reduction to the original pile!

Here are some other scraps. I think I will use them to make a placemat for Meals on Wheels.

My tracking sheet is looking more colorful!

What have you been doing to keep yourself busy?

Later,
