How cute is this sampler quilt? The sew along begins on Monday November 4th, but you will need a few supplies to get started.
A copy of Quilty Fun. The instructions for the blocks will come from the book, so have your copy handy.
A stash that needs busting. Prepare your stash for a lesson in scrappy patchwork with some helpful tips from Lori.
3 yards of background (Lori used white) to piece all of your cute sampler blocks together.
