On to the second finish for the 2020 Summer Sampler. As a reminder of my first Summer Sampler Three Ways post, I pulled colored pencils from a bag in order to select the color palette and ended up with three that I couldn’t decide between so I made them all! The second quilt was based on this pencil pull.
And I ended up with this complete fabric grouping. Those deep royal colors really speak to me. This was actually my favorite combo of the bunch.
I chose to finish this Sampler in a different layout than I did the first one. I wanted it larger to really show off those vibrant colors. I made some setting blocks to get to a layout that I liked.
I added some nine-patches in the interior corners to break up the brightly colored setting blocks which made the final size 72” square.
The back is a combo of a perfect triangle print set off with big blocks of color.
I straight-line quilted it in a hexagon design from the center out.
The binding is the main background grey fabric spotted with some of those gorgeous royal colors.
I just adore this quilt and I’m super happy with how it turned out!
Next time – the final color pull. It’s another good one!
Until next time…..Happy Sewing!

I love this! I really enjoyed reading your process and looked back at the other post too.
Thanks – it was a fun one to put together and these colors just sing. Stay tuned for the third combo.
Loved the color palette.
