Summer Sampler Series 10

It’s the 10th anniversary of the original Summer Sampler Series.

In 2011, Katie of Swim Bike Quilt, Faith of Fresh Lemons Quilts, and myself had a simple goal: Show modern quilters how they can use traditional block designs. Now we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Summer Sampler by re-releasing all 12 blocks from the original 2011 quilt-along! Scroll down for links to every FREE block pattern in the series.

Fabric requirements to make all 12 blocks:
• The equivalent of about 1/4 yard for each block, so about 3 yards of fabric total
• If you plan to use the same background color for every block, we recommend about 2 yards of background fabric, plus 8-12 fat eighths in various colors/prints

You can also purchase the instructions for all 12 blocks in one convenient, printable PDF - click here to purchase.
