Sept. Sat. Sampler

Last week my friend texted asking if I wanted to start a Saturday Sampler at one of our favorite Quilt Stores that's in the next town. (It's only a 20 minute drive away) and I replied: "You bet!" We picked out one charm pack and a yard of background fabric when we arrived and the plan is to make a 6"block each month.
 I couldn't resist picking out Bloomin' Fresh by Deb Strain:

Here's my first 6" block finished:

And well, since I haven't been in a quilt store in what seems like forever and the ladies were so organized with their presentation, I fell in love with one of their finishing kits and bought the whole Deb Strain Bloomin' Fresh Kit to finish my blocks later:

 The panel came in three color ways of the blue, green or red. I choose the green with my oldest daughter in mind. The only thing missing is a few yards of extra large ric-rak which I'll pick up next month! SO happy!
So there ya go...I'll post my block and the pattern the third Saturday of each month.

Happy Saturday!
With Smiles,
Val:)

  1. You are so kind and generous Val! Your block looks great. Now I am tempted again, first by your alphabet blocks and now by your sampler blocks. Such happy colors!

  2. Cute pattern and fabrics. I started a drag-along for my newest grandson (2) last night. (from the fabrics he picked out...) I've got plenty of UFOs, there's just something about a new project. Hubby helped me cut the old fashioned way - with a scissors!. Rotary cutting is just too hard on the old back.

  5. I had done this with Moda and then got half way and the blocks and fabrics went missing. Don't know if they grew legs or I accidently slipped it all into a donation box. I would love to join in.
