10th Anniversary Summer Sampler Series Quilt Along
This year, 2021, marks the 10th anniversary of the original Summer Sampler Series, hosted by Katie at Swim, Bike, Quilt, Faith at Fresh Lemons Quilts, and Lee at Freshly Pieced. I hope you will celebrate and quilt along with us!
This is a free quilt along based on blocks in Barbara Brackman’s book The Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns.
Weekly Pattern Email Signup: Sign up to receive weekly email reminders with a link to the pattern.
Fabric Requirements: We estimate that each 12-1/2” (unfinished) quilt block will take the equivalent of a fat quarter to make; three yards of fabric should do it - a bit more if you want room for error. I used Art Gallery’s solids for my blocks. Believe it or not, at the time, these were all the available colors!
Finishing Requirements: This is a pretty casual quilt along. Unlike our current annual Summer Samplers, we won’t be providing finishing directions or a private Facebook group.
Hash Tag: Feel free to share your blocks on Instagram using the hashtag #summersamplerturns10
