Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Sampler Quilt Block #3

Ta da!  Sampler Block #3.  I am using the Chocolat line of fabric by Moda.  My friend Lisa and I are working together on sampler quilts using the same block patterns, but completely different fabrics.  Her fabric choice is Fig Tree’s Cinnamon Stars (also by Moda).  She is also using a different approach to her quilt blocks, using a darker fabric selection for her backgrounds.  I am going to have to get cracking on my blocks though, as from the sounds of it, she is already up to Block #7 or #8!  My problem is that I just discovered the joys of machine applique and can’t stop playing with sharp scissors and teensy scraps of fabric!

  7. The block looks lovely. It’s always fun to make a quilt in the same pattern but different colours than a friend. They always seem so different when you are done.
