Here is a diagram of the blocks in my Star Sampler, by columns from left to right, top to bottom. Column two: Column three: Column four: Click on it to view a larger version. |
While I was BOM chairperson at my local guild, I challenged the ladies to make one of each block for themself,
and make a quilt from it at the end of the year. Here is my quilt, made from more than one of each block.
(In this photo it still needs binding.)
This sampler was made as a teaching tool,
along with a group of ladies who were making
their own samplers. I gave them the fabric for
trial diagonal half squares and diagonal quarter
squares. Later I put together these blocks from
their finished squares, and then this quilt. It was
raffled off at my guilds annual Holiday Auction.
This sampler was made along with the ladies in that same sampler class. I find the sampler quilt a versatile teaching tool, perfect for beginners and the more advanced.
