Like many others, earlier in the year I started working on the Splendid Sampler Block patterns. I had high aspirations of turning this amazing fat quarter bundle box of Cotton & steel fabrics into something beyond words.
I got to block 2. Life got busy and my best intentions fell to the way side. Well, last week on Instagram I shared this photo and officially announced that I am hoping back on the Splendid Sampler Block Train and it is moving fast.
Over the last few days I’ve gone from 2 blocks to 27 blocks and they are looking amazing!

You can find the full list of Splendid Sampler Block patterns here and since they are only available for a limited time, I suggest that you pre order the book here. Since I know so many of the block designers, I’m totally grabbing a copy and will try to get everyone to sign it. I’ll consider it my “quilting” goal.
As of right now I only have 27 blocks made but each day I try to make at least one more. With each new block I add to the design wall, I become more inspired and excited to keep stitching. Most importantly, the thing to remember is that it’s never too late to do something you love, even the Splendid Sampler Blocks!
You can see all of my blocks and follow along with my progress on Instagram. Please be sure to tag me so that we can cheer each other on!! Also, for anyone interested in making their own Splendid Sampler block set with Cotton & steel, my bundle box contained an assortment of 40 fat quarters and even though it is no longer available you can create your own set with any of these beauties.
