Summer Sampler
I’m not much of a joiner, but I really admire the ladies (Katie of Swim Bike Quilt, Lee of Freshly Pieced and Faith of Fresh Lemon Quilts) that host this sampler. So when I was asked to design and contribute a block to this year’s I thought to myself to just keep it simple.
This year’s sampler is travel inspired and my thoughts went to all the solo and accompanied road trips I’ve taken throughout the years in the Southwest and those roads tucked between all that sandstone.
Thought I’d share the quilt mockup with you today! They’ve mocked it up in 3 different color ways, and Sewtopia will be offering solids kits [10% off if you pre-order here], and so will Mad About Patchwork in Canada!!
Beginning May 14th, each week they’ll share a quilt block inspired by a different global destination.
Katie, Lee and Faith have 10 guest designers this year including me, with a total of 18 blocks to make an 80” x 80” quilt, and we hope you will follow them on Instagram [if you don’t already!] and get to know them all a little better.
