Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Quilt Blocks April 2022 Update (that I didn’t get finished up in time for yesterday’s video).

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing a Sampler Spree Quilt Block March 2022 Update. Over the weekend I was able to do some fun sewing and finish up sixteen more blocks for my Sampler Spree quilt. This means I actually only have three more blocks to make, and then I can start setting the blocks together […]

Hello, and happy Wednesday. Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Quilt February Update along with the Quilting Life free February 2022 calendar PDF. Just the other day I finished up five more blocks (I had already cut them out). With just 20 blocks to finish, I’m hopeful I can do at least five each week […]

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday. Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Quilt Blocks January Update. I was working pretty regularly on this project during the second half of 2021 but let it go during the busy holiday season. Since I really do want to get these blocks finished up soon so I can put the […]

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Quilt Blocks November Update. I got behind on my schedule of making five blocks a week sometime in September and finally set aside some time to get going on these again. I’m not sure if I’ll still be able to finish up the blocks by my original […]

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing a Sampler Spree Quilt Blocks Update. I know lots of quilters sewed along at the quick pace of ten blocks a week and have finished their quilts. But I’ve been taking my time on this one and really enjoying the slower pace. I had to put everything aside for some […]

Hello, friends, and Happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing five more Sampler Spree Quilt Blocks I finished up this week. This has been a nice project to sew along with at a slower pace. Although as I get closer to the end of the book I might end up deciding to just get it done. I […]

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Week 10 blocks for the Sampler Spree Quilt Along. Those who have been making ten blocks per week are finished or nearly finished with their quilts. And I have sure seen some gorgeous blocks out there. I’m still going at a slower pace, but […]

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Week 9 Blocks for the Sampler Spree Quilt Along. I know many of you are sewing along with ten blocks a week and might be close to finishing, but I’m sure enjoying my pace of just five blocks a week. I did stop by and see a […]

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Week 8 blocks. I realize how much I enjoy having a weekly quilt along to participate in. And 4-5 blocks has seemed very doable for me this summer even with how crazy-busy things have been most of the time. Also, it’s been good for […]

There is still not a lot of sewing at my house right now, but it is fun piecing these few Sampler Spree blocks every week. For week 5, the color is red and ten blocks were assigned.

Here are my blocks.

When the color red popped up, I found I do not have a lot of red in my modern fabric stash. There is pink, fuchsia, and coral, but not much red. Luckily, I had enough to piece these blocks though. I also may have done a little stash enhancement shopping to correct this wrong!!

The week 6 color is ...

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday! Thank you so much for all of the kindness you’ve shown for the first two Seashore Drive quilts I’ve shared earlier this week.

I am having fun with the Sampler Spree QAL. Making these blocks is like eating potato chips. You just can’t stop. They are easy to make and only take a few minutes. Instant gratification!

When the color green came up for last week’s blocks, I was not sure I had enough green in my scrap bin for all ten blocks. Green is not my favorite color. I find it hard to work with so I don’t buy much. Apparently, I purchased and used plenty over the years because there was more than enough to complete these blocks ...

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday! I’m happy to be sharing the blocks I made this week for the Sampler Spree Quilt Along Week 5. I made five blocks this week and also got a jumpstart on next week’s blocks by choosing fabrics and doing some of the cutting. Even though I’m sewing along at a […]

Have you joined the Sampler Spree Quilt-Along? It is sponsored by Moda and is based on Susan Ache’s book, Sampler Spree. Each week a specific color is announced along with 10-12 blocks to piece using that color. It was so helpful to have my scraps sorted by color. I can just pull out the appropriate bin and start cutting!

I am having so much fun making these little six-inch blocks. The quilt-along started in June but it is not too late to join in. Check out Moda’s blog post here for more information. Week one’s color ...

Hello and happy Wednesday, friends! Today I’m sharing blocks from the Sampler Spree Quilt Along week four. I didn’t get a post up last week, so I’ll be sharing eight blocks today to keep with my schedule of four per week. I had a lot of fun with this week’s blocks and have a few […]

Hello, friends. It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time to share my Sampler Spree Week 2 blocks. This past week ended up being crazy busy, but I had a chance yesterday afternoon to get my blocks done. And I’m so glad I did–I do love a sew along to help keep me motivated to keep […]
