In the tradition of constructing a quilt from sampler blocks, I am composing my version from some of my quilted samples. These were made some time ago, when I was experimenting with cloth, testing sample wadding, creating my own patterns and practising techniques. There is a stash of samples that grew from this time and I am surprised to see how much I have made. Lots of interesting beginnings, trying things out for their own sake, without a plan in mind, yet this colour and cloth combination shows some promise and for me is quite subtle.
