Splendid Sampler 2


Open Arms!
A design that was inspired by Love
In a world of so much negativity we all need a huge hug don't you agree?
The Splendid Sampler 2 by Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson (https://www.thesplendidsampler.com/)  is an wonderful book with different techniques and inspiration!  I am having so much fun doing my Thursday night Facebook Live Events using the different blocks from the book. In my design you will learn 30° Triangles and how to put this fun block together!


Tune in tonight at 7:00pm (central time) on Facebook Live (Open Gate Quilts).
I will teach you how to create this great block as well as do a free giveaway to one lucky contestant.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight and be sure to share to all of your quilting friends about this great book as well as our Thursday night tutorials (we are having so much fun!!!)

First, make your 1/2 square triangles. Square to the correct size.  Note that you will make 2 of each color and you will only need 1 so you can save them or use them for another project.  

The trickiest part of the block is making sure that you have your flying geese made with the correct dark on the correct side.  There are 4 different flying geese and you make 2 of each.  Make sure that you follow the diagrams to make sure you have them correct.

As before, make…
