The last few months I’ve been working hard on piecing blocks together for a new sampler quilt I designed. Today I’m finally able to share the assembled (and finished) quilt with you - the Joy Sampler Quilt! This colorful quilt makes my heart so happy to look at it since it reminds me of spring and the joy and wonder of color. I used the design software EQ 8 to plan and design the quilt which made the whole planning phase so much easier. If you haven’t seen my previous three posts where I shared the making of the individual blocks, go here, here and here. For the top of the quilt I used Riley Blake Confetti Cottons in solid white, hot pink, grass, teal and yellow. I added a white border around the assembled quilt. The backing fabric is a simple white with yellow polka dots fabric from Wilmington Prints called On the Dot. I chose to quilt a simple straight line design spaced 1 inch apart. The binding fabric brings everything together in playful pink and green diagonal stripes from Lindsay Wilkes for Riley Blake Designs called Sugar & Spice. Finished size: approximately 64 inches (162 cm) x 52 inches (132 cm) - lap size
PS. I started working on these Orange Peel quilt blocks. I’m not sure if this will be my next finished project, but I’ll keep you posted.
