Diving Into the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle Quilt
Bear Creek Quilting Company's Moda Sampler Block Shuffle is an ideal project for creative exploration and skill development. This sampler quilt is a free Block of the Week, and features some of the most popular designers in the quilting scene for an amazing piecing experience.
Project Overview & Requirements
The Moda Sampler Block Shuffle includes a collection of 30 different 6-inch square blocks, all created by some of Moda's best design talent, such as Pat Sloan, V and Co., Bonnie & Camille and French General. Completed with the included setting instructions, the finished size is 59 1/2″ x 68”, this is a beautiful throw or lap quilt with lots of visual texture.
If you want to make your own, the pattern recommends collecting:
- Fabric Pre-cuts: 2 Layer cakes or 2 Jelly Cakes or a mix of both – from one fabric range or totally mixed and matched from your stash.
- Setting & Border Fabrics: Extra yardage for inside borders, corner triangles and sashing to bring all 30 unique blocks together perfectly.
Why This Sampler Stands Out
The benefit to the intermediate and adventurous beginner quilters is that each block release has a plethora of tips and tricks. Perfect half-square triangle (HST) and flying geese, a scant quarter inch seam allowance, and raw-edge applique are all mini masterclass in every block.
Final Thought
Quilting sampler quilts are a great use of the quilter's time because as soon as you learn one technique the next block brings a new one to the challenge. Whether you opt for a line of fabric or mix your inventives from your scrap bins and create a wonderfully scrappy look, the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle is a great experience that will give you a beautiful heirloom and help you become a more precise crafter and expand your skills.
