With temperatures up in the three digits lately, you can be sure I have been staying indoors where it is cool! Come on Fall weather!
A bit of that time indoors has been spent sewing my Kaffe Fassett scraps into some blocks for my Splendid Sampler. So far I have a total of 41 6" blocks completed.
I have sewn up five more of the actual Splendid Sampler blocks since the last time I shared my progress. There have been a number of blocks that were either applique or embroidery that I chose not to include in my quilt. I really want this quilt to be mostly pieced blocks.
I did add these four blocks from the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Sampler QAL. I always pick and choose each week the ones I like.
My finished blocks continue to grow on my design wall. I haven't settled on a final layout yet - there are still months of block making ahead!

your design wall is coming along pretty well with that sampler!
Love the picture of your blocks up on the design wall! Looks like a black sashing would really make the bright colors in the blocks pop!
This thing keeps growing and growing! I admire how you are sticking to it!
Very pretty blocks. It's going to be a gorgeous quilt when you get them all set together.
Sometime I'll have to make a design wall. I sure enjoy seeing what's up on yours. One of my readers called my purchases my "Loot." So I took the idea, embellished it, and posted. It's a teaser of an embarrassing post coming ahead. Thanks for letting me link here. Karen
I love that layout, with some blocks set straight and some on point! And I like your decision to make mostly pieced blocks. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!
