Sampler Spree Week 8 | Quilt Along

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing my Sampler Spree Week 8 blocks. I realize how much I enjoy having a weekly quilt along to participate in. And 4-5 blocks has seemed very doable for me this summer even with how crazy-busy things have been most of the time. Also, it’s been good for me to sew several blocks at a time to make it easier to keep a nice mix of colors and prints. Keep reading to see details on this week’s blocks along with any tips, tricks, or tools I used.

Sampler Spree Week8

Week 8 Blocks

• Lightning Strikes, Block 31 – I used the daisies on red from our Sincerely Yours collection to add in a touch of red. And the Mini Simple Folded Corners Ruler was super helpful for this block.
• Mr. Roosevelt’s Necktie, Block 32 – I used Seashore Drive fabrics for this one with two different prints in orchid and the tone on tone tiny floral.
• Antique Tile, Block 33 – More Seashore Drive fabrics here–I love the juxtaposition of the blue and the daisies in light coral. This one went together quickly.
• Buoy, Block 34 – I used two different aqua prints from Seashore Drive, and I also used the Mini Simple Folded Corners Ruler to add the corner triangles.
• Double Shoo Fly, Block 35 – And finally, this one might be my favorite this week. I love the citrine daisy print mixed with the multi tiny floral and the low-volume background. And yes, I also used the Mini Simple Folded Corners Ruler again here.
