2011 BOM Sampler
For 2011 I've decided to go with a certain style of block. These blocks certainly will make a nice sampler, but will make terrific quilts when combined with each other too. Some of the blocks might look exactly alike to you, but take my word for it there is a slight difference in each one.

As each block is added to the web page I will show it on the sampler in color. I will also add combinations of blocks which make what I think are lovely quilts on each BOM page. And yes, there is a empty spot in my sampler, I need to pick one more block for this series. But please notice there are more than 12 blocks.

I will be using only four colors for 2011 although you certainly may use more if you want. My fabrics were actually scraps that I had a lot of and that just happened to go together nicely. I knew I didn't have enough of a few of them to use for the whole project, but I also knew I had similar in my stash to supplement when needed. To coordinate your sampler if you like, choose a print fabric and then get other colors that are in that print, or that compliment and/or contrast with that print.
     




My fabrics are white-on-whites, black and white prints, blacks and a red.


If I was going to make a sampler with all new fabrics and didn't know exactly how it was going to go together, I would get three yards of each fabric. If you are using up stash or scraps like I did, pull fabrics that coordinate, compliment and contrast.

There are many options for putting together samplers, I have decided this one will have sashing and setting blocks. I would need to buy 1 1/2 yards of fabric for the sashing if I didn't have it in my stash. My sashing is a white-on-white, which I have plenty of, and I have extra of my red which I will use for the setting blocks.
