I’m making a kind of fusion between my "style" and Sara's @farmandfolk very rustic & earthy feel. I'm trying to keep my colour palette simple, using the soft green vintage floral as my focus, with other gentle colours added in like peach & pinks, muted browns, and maybe olive as an accent.
I'm also using different weights of fabrics in this sampler, like linen, barkcloth, soft cotton merino, & regular quilting cottons. The more blocks I've made, the more I'm coming to grips with the different fabrics, combining similar weights if possible. Super happy so far with the added depth & texture to my experimenting!
Soft colours + scattered prints = joy in every block.
block 8 Snowballs.
block 9 Bears Paw
- almost halfway through the 20-week adventure!
If you love a sampler quilt and savour the process, this one could be for you too.

Earthy and rustic are great words to describe the fabrics and colors you're using for these blocks! They're really pretty, Linda. I love the bear paw block especially!
I like the block and the pattern used for the first block in the middle row - love the skinny points
A lovely collection of block designs and a great way for you to play with these fabrics.
I love your fabric collection for this quilt, I'm following along as each new block is posted but haven't yet decided whether to try to catch up or wait a couple more months and finish up some UFOs first.
