The Splendid Sampler Collection So Far

So far, I have seven done!  Woot Woot!  I have managed to keep up but only because I am putting this project over things I really need to get done.

Splendid Sampler Block #6

Block #6 Focal Point for the Splendid Sampler

I am having a blast making these blocks.  Never mind that I have a ton of WIP's hanging out in my sewing room.  Pshaw!  I have more attractive things to pursue.  The Sampler!

Splendid Sampler Block #4 and #5

 Block #4

Must get a better pic of #4. Eee gats.  It really is a lot brighter than this. But you get the idea.

Block #5

Hearts Block #3 Splendid Sampler

It is funny, well, funny as in strange not funny as in ha ha, how people will complain about the quilting/patterns when it is free.  Pat Sloan and all those designers worked hard on their blocks.  Why do people have to be so negative about it.  In Pat Sloan',s post a few days ago on Splendid Sampler, she wrote about people being negative and asking questions which were already answered in the directions.  Silly people! Let's be grateful to the work and designs of those who are putting these patterns out. If you don't like a block, don,t make it!  Nuff said!

When I first saw the block, truth be told, I was not excited about it.  That didn't mean I didn't appreciate the work that went behind it, nor would I ever say anything about it.  But when I put my colors in, I fell in love!  No pun intended hearts/love....

So work your colors maybe you will find it.  If not, make into a mug rug and gift it!  Ha!

Splendid Sampler Block #2

Block #2 is butterflies.  Yeah!  These are sweet little blocks.

Here is a pic with my butterflies antennae on.

February Blocks for Craftsy Block of the Month

 Yeah! Done for this month. This and some Ohio Stars.

You know I have taken on four month by month projects. Yikes.  Next week though, I am getting some quilting done.

Hearts A Flutter Block One

I am doing the Splendid Sampler.  Yes, why do I need another quilt project?  Just cause!  Cause I can.

This is what it looked like before I appliqued it.   I decided to use Joan Fords way of appliqueing to give another approach a try. I liked it but I am totally sold on my just learned way that I am currently using.

This is the finished block using Joan Fords technique.
