Linen Closet- the Spring- Summer Sampler (1 of 4)
According to my New Standard Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language , a sampler is "often worked as a sample of the beginners skill..." It is designed to give one lots of practice and hopefully demonstrates proficiency upon completion... hopefully. 😏
These are some of the fabrics I started with- I chose the third one for the strips between the squares, (called "sashing"). This fabric's design shows a good amount of warm, neutral background, and includes hints of all the colors I wanted to include in the overall look. So, perhaps we should call it my "inspiration fabric" since it was chosen to pull the whole project together.

One of my first sampler quilts was “Spring- Summer Sampler”. I can’t
remember now which came first; the idea to try squares from an encyclopedia of
quilt blocks, or collecting the fabrics. But, at some point the fabrics in dusty
roses and mossy greens became my color palette for this experiment in classic quilt patterns. And this was good practice in making points, lining up seams for straight lines and much more.
