Sampler Spree Almost a Finish!

Sampler Spree four rows out of five
My Sampler Spree Quilt is almost finished! I have completed four out of the five quilt rows and sewn them together. Today I will get the last row on and send it off to be quilted. You can see the last row of blocks peeking out from underneath the quilt top. This quilt is a monster! It will cover and drape down over a queen-sized bed easily. 

Don't the blocks stand out and shine now that they are separated into quadrants and framed by the cream and brown lattice? I think the setting brilliantly highlights the variety of all those 100 blocks. For those of you who may not remember, the quilt is from a book called "Sampler Spree" by Susan Ache. I used three different collections from Moda designer BasicGrey: Persimmon, Cider, and Nutmeg.

Whew, I am pooped after wrestling with that big thing all afternoon!

  1. I love the quilt!! Your fabric choices are outstanding. When you pull it all together the colors and patterns work so well. Sometimes sampler quilts are too bright and busy, but your quilt is soothing and connected. Job well done! I bet this will end up being a favorite among your quilts.

  16. That’s a great setting! You’re right…the brown & cream lattice really lets the blocks show off! It’s going to make you smile every time you walk into the room where it’s on the bed!

  19. I love the setting! Lots of work but totally worth it. Try to stay cool on the porch with a book or something. Too hot to sew. ;p
