The Fussy Cut Sampler QAL - Blocks 1-4

This week was the first week in the Fussy Cut Sampler QAL.  I decided to join in because it has been so long since I did a quilt along.  A couple years ago I really enjoyed the Lucky Stars BOM  and then I made an attempt at the Farmer's Wife quilt, but the blocks had so many tiny pieces that I got sick of it.

The blocks in this book are nice because there aren't a lot of tiny pieces, and they focus on trying to get the most visual impact from each fabric.

I tend to be a little careless about directional fabrics, but this has made me think a little bit more about how fabrics are presented.

If you are on Instagram, you can find blocks made by other people participating in the QAL with the hashtag #thefussycutsamplerqal.

It's not too late to join in!  The QAL will be making 4 blocks each week and each week has different prizes.

  4. I love the blocks, especially the little pinwheels! I don't have enough novelty prints to do this QAL, but I wish I did because it looks fun. I'll just follow your progress :-)

  5. I love all your blocks, especially the one with that cute little mousey. I'm with you about tiny little pieces - just not my thing. Maybe I'll look into this QAL. I need a new project. Not that I don't have plenty of UFOs. :-)
