This would have been Saturday Sampler and Sew Vintage day - in a normal year. Obviously our Sampler group hasn't been able to meet. But Cindy has been doing a bang up job of creating little videos on Facebook to demonstrate the new month's blocks, and to show fun new things at the shop. However, I'm guessing what we all miss the most is the Show n Tell and socializing part of Saturday Sampler. Maybe by summer we can get back to normal again. Fingers crossed.
Saturday Sampler month #2 sections were my main sewing project this morning, and have now been added to the little collection of parts. Lori Holt's book Quilty Fun is our basis, and this month we did 3 of the little Sewing Basket blocks, and 2 Courthouse Steps blocks. Each of these little individual blocks are 6.5" square but then set together with specific size of background strips.
So far none of the 4 sections we've sewn are the same length or width, so most likely they won't sit near each other in the finished quilt. It's so fun when the layout is a bit of a mystery.
Month #1 had Apple blocks and Friendship Stars. I'm really pleased with my choice of 30s reproduction prints with a print background. That background is just white with little navy blue open squares sprinkled randomly.

yes I like the fabrics!! :)
Your fabric choices were inspired, the background really works in those blocks. I always enjoy the show and tell the most when I take a class. Fingers crossed we'll all be able to take in person classes by summer, fall at the latest.
