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 Block #1

This is my Sampler Block #1 prepared as part of the Sampler Challenge between my friend Lisa and I.  You can see the pattern and fabric collection I am using here.  I am delighted with my first block and can’t wait to get going on Block #2.  The best part of the process is in selecting the combinations of fabrics to be used in each block.  Too many great choices!  Twelve blocks may not be enough.

  3. Lovely block, Nicole. Someday when you have time (huh), could you write a little something about how you get so much quilting done–even with a job and family and blog and everything? Some of us could use it.

  7. Beautiful! And, of course, there’s also the fun in figuring out color placement for each block; sometimes it’s fun to make several of the same block and change the light and dark placement and see how different a block will look. Playing with fabric–I can’t think of much that’s more fun than that! LOL!
