I just wanted to share my latest few Splendid Sampler blocks with you. The book is now available and we're sewing blocks from the book - four blocks each week - but you can choose to do all of them or just one or two each week!
This week's block is actually a bonus block so it's a free block pattern not found in the book.
It's designed by Pat Sloan and it's called Magic Squares.
Last week's block was also a bonus block- this one was designed by Jane Davidson and it's called The Last Leaf
You can find the free pattern for this block here.
These next three blocks are ones that are from previous weeks but can also be found in the book.
This one is called Around Four Corners designed by Rachael Daisy. It's a pretty clever design, and I love the optical illusion created by the circles!
This block below is called Ticker Tape and it was designed by Debby Brown.
It's a foundation pieced block which really helps with the accuracy of all of those interlocking seams!
This next block was a fun one. It's called Hashtag Love designed by Jane Davidson.
It's a quick little applique block and I just used some Heat n Bond Lite and a straight stitch to finish off the pieces.
I do love the mix of techniques used in the book - we've tried foundation piecing, applique, embroidery and traditional piecing. If you haven't joined in the fun yet, you can still order the book here on Amazon.
There's a Facebook group to join here where everyone is sharing their blocks and tips.
And you can read more about the Splendid Sampler Sew Along here on the official website.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

These blocks are so pretty. You have such a good eye for using just the right fabric combinations, something I struggle with.
