Moda Sampler Shuffle


Did anyone else make these sampler blocks? 
I've never made a sampler before so when I saw this on the Calico House Blog, I decided to go for it! 
I've been working on these 6" blocks since November and I can hardly believe that I kept up with them every week. The block patterns were created by Moda Fabrics designers and were designed to teach new quilting techniques and piecing skills. A few block patterns were released each week. Since they are so small, each one took just a small amount of fabric to make. I really enjoyed playing with solid colors for my blocks! I did not enjoy sewing the applique blocks, they look pretty bad.
So now I need to decide if I'm going to follow the pattern, which calls for a border of flying geese, or make a different border. It's small right now, 44" x 53", so I will probably add some kind of border!

  7. That has turned out so cool. I love all the color play. Those inserted half square triangle blocks are really cool too. Can't wait to see how you finish. Did you see the wonky flying geese at CC behind the register? maybe a little improv?
