A Sampler


I started reading Jennifer Chiaverrini's Elm Creek Quilts series by chance.
Just found one in the library one day and decided to give it a try.
It had a quilt on the cover after all!
I have since read them all.
I was in my local quilt shop one day and happen to see this book

I have never done a sampler so I bought the book and decided to give it a try.
I decided that I just wanted a throw for my bedroom so I used a fat quarter bundle of
Fig and Plum by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda.
My dilemma now is how to quilt a sampler.
Do I just use an all over pattern and machine quilt it?
Or do I hand quilt it and quilt each block individually?
Help!
What would you do?

  1. Good question, I've never done a sampler either! I'd vote for an all-over stippling pattern, some loopy-de-loops or maybe some straight-line quilting. What a beautiful quilt top!

  2. I would do an overall pattern too(but I only hand quilt small items : )
    I like to read the Elm Creek quilt series too!
