Splendid Sampler Saturday

Eeekkk!!!  What a fantastic Saturday morning I am having.  Like I said on Wednesday, I have really been wanting to get my Splendid Sampler quilt top sewn up.  But you know how things get busy.   Well this morning I figured what better day than a "Splendid Sampler Saturday" to set aside everything else on my cutting mat  for a bit and start sewing together my Splendid Sampler rows.   And aren't they just so fun!!!!


They are coming together quick and I love the added sashing and chain!!!  It just frames those happy colored blocks and makes them pop all the more.   5 block rows down and 6 sashing rows down.  Only 8 more of each to go.  They  are coming together at a decent speed, all that shasing takes a bit longer, but so totally worth it.   Here's hoping to have more progress to share next Saturday!!!


I hope you are having a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!! 
Pin It!

    It's a beautiful rainbow. And you managed to get an Irish Chain in there! What a surprise! Ha ha!

    It's looking great. So smart to pick a day to work on it instead of letting those blocks just sit around giving you a pitiful look.

    I sincerely LOVE what you have done with your splendid sampler. I downloaded the patterns but could not commit - too many UFO's a Dear Jane that needs finished first. OOH, yours is so beautiful!
