Instructions

I tried a variety of different patterns on this quilt - as it is a Sampler - I wanted to do a lot of different blocks in the gator colors. But the sashings are white satin and when I was quilting it, I made sure to sew on the top of these to be sure that they would not come loose.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Funky, Preppy, Cute


Materials

some satins, cotton materials, fleece for the back - 3 colors (orange, blue & white), batting, thread, sewing supplies, & tools

What was your inspiration?

My daughter! I made this for her wedding...she and her husband both graduated from UF and are gator fans...so I wanted to make something really differnt and a sampler has different patterns for each block...and here it is. It measures 78" W x 91" L

What are you most proud of?

How well it looks and they really liked it too.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

To make a sampler, you need to have different blocks - but they can be in similar colors...just have fun with it...anything is possible.
