LHQSQ - Blocks - 1-12 on the wall

DESIGN WALL MONDAY -
Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. at Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))

============
Note - these instructions are written in LEFTISH.
If you are right-handed - just reverse the directions.
============

So far -

I/you/we have made 12 Sampler Blocks -

All 12 Sampler Blocks up on the wall -


I was going for a red and neutral color palette -

Red - cream - beige - tan - brown -

But -

I'm not all that thrilled with my fabric choices so far -

And I thought about starting over -

And switching to some other fabrics -

That I found in my stash -

A more "coordinated" selection -

But maybe if I keep going -

It won't look too bad -

I think I just need more VARIETY!!

And - hey -

It's my Sampler Quilt -

So -

No one is really going to know -

That I'm making this up -

As I go along -

And that I didn't PLAN -

It this way -

Right? ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

    Maybe do something unusual in the sashing and borders?? Anyway, love the blocks. The only time I did a sampler quilt - my first quilt class. I made 6 blocks and made a baby quilt out of them - then didn't quilt for 20 years...... Maybe I'd better stay away from sampler stuff :-)

    Thanks, Katie - but this is only what I have so far. I am not done yet - I have a few more blocks planned before this puppy is done - ;))

    blocks look great and I agree that in samplers tons of fabrics make it all come together in a fabulous way. Nice job
