The Splendid Sampler 100 Block Mystery Quilt

We have completed week 2 of The Splendid Sampler 100 Block Mystery Quilt by Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson.

you can see the main website at  - http://www.thesplendidsampler.com/

there is something like 30,000 people world wide doing the same quilt,, different fabrics, twice a week a pattern is posted and when we make it we share it on the Facebook webpage.  Within hours after the pattern is posted we see many pictures in our FB feed that shows how different fabric and interpretations are done.  I am learning amazing techniques and then I challenge myself to make the block.  The work is tiny , working with 1 inch blocks on some of the squares is something a a I have never done.

So here is my first 4 blocks.  I will update my block with photo's of this project every 4 to 6 blocks.

I am using Moda Fabrics "Kansas Trouble"  I was not to crazy about this fabric once I started to work with it,, I ordered in on line and it is a little to traditional for my liking but this is a learning quilt and I am positive when it is done, I will be happy with my work,
