Last year, Donna@Donna's Lavender Nest hosted a quilt sampler quilt a long. I just finished mine up yesterday. =) Thanks, Donna for a fun quilt along!

When I couldn't sleep the other night, I splurged and bought two of Camille Roskelly's mini patterns. Would you be surprised if I told you I bought the Spools and Swoon patterns? I have a feeling the answer to that would be "no." =)

I am toying with the idea of using the pastel solids to make the mini Swoons, enough for a lap size blanket or wall hanging. Or making the smaller swoons to use as a border and doing something else in the middle...I don't know! Until I do know, I will continue to think and think and think....

Have a happy Wednesday!!

Block 2 gave me a bit of trouble. This is the first attempt and I measure way too big. Over a 1/2" too big! I messed and messed with it and couldn't get it right, so I too off the last round and started over from the white square.

This one measured too big, too, but not as much, so I trimmed it to size. Still, when I sew this one to another block, I will loose the point on the white fabric. I am okay with that. =) 

Instructions for this block can be found at Donna's Lavender Nest.

Yesterday Donna posted the first block in the sampler quilt she is hosting. 

Quilt-a-longs are so good for me because I am forced to make new blocks that I otherwise wouldn't try. I am a lazy quilter. I like easy. For my sampler quilt, I am going to use my precious Bonnie and Camille fabrics.
