In one of my FB groups, I kept noticing people posting their blocks for a Stitchery Sampler Quilt. The fabrics used in these blocks was bright and beautiful. So different from the fabrics I am using on the current block challenge that I'm working on. The more I kept seeing these blocks, the more I started looking for this other challenge.

The challenge had started back on January 8th so the group challenge was already into its 10th week by the time I even knew it existed; however, the more and more pics I saw I decided to go ahead and order the kit. I rationalized my purchase by telling myself that I could do the quilt whenever I wanted. I didn't have to do it week to week with the group. 

The entire process was supposed to be thirteen weeks and if you ordered the kit you would get everything you needed to complete the quilt top. The only additional fabric I needed to order would be the backing. I placed my order on the 21st of March from the designer herself.

All the blocks are different, appear to be simple basic blocks that mimick a traditional stitched embroidery sampler. There is applique and hexagons involved, which I am excited to try. The fabric in the kit is a new collection called Figs & Shirtlings, designed by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree & Company. They also have a Christmas version which I have seen several people make instead of or in addition to the traditional colors. Some people are using their scraps, so theirs has an even different look.

Each finished block is 11 inches and the finished quilt should be 49" x 59 1/2".

I plan to follow the colors shown on the quilt instructions provided I have enough fabric to do that. Some of my research has lead me to believe that I might have to switch it up a little as I go as I might not have enough fabric in my kit to match up exactly, but will have enough fabric to complete the quilt.

I'm looking forward to getting my kit and getting started on this quilt as well.

What the finished quilt is supposed to look like!
