2025 Color Play Sampler with Quilters Select

2025 Color Play Sampler with Quilters Select

Join the Quilters Select team and members of the Official Quilters Select Facebook Group for a Sampler Series designed for all experience levels.

The sampler includes 10 unique blocks, stitched in two colorways to create a beautiful sampler quilt (Layout 1) Or opt to repeat two of your favorites for a modern 12-block layout (Layout 2) Or stitch your completed blocks into a layout that suits your style.

We’ll take two weeks for each block (one week per color variation), allowing time to experiment with color and fabric placement. For those who wish to stitch at a slower pace, use the two weeks to perfect your block and complete a 12-block layout.

All resource links will be emailed and posted on the Official Quilters Select Facebook Group page.

Block Details

• Finished block size: 12”

• Given the nature of a sampler quilt, yardage is approximate and based on the 20-block layout.

Yardage Recommendations

Background:

• 20 block Layout approximately 1 3/4 yards for unpieced “spacer” blocks (10> 12 1/2”x12 1/2” squares) and approximately 2 yards of background for the pieced blocks.

• 12 Block Layout approximately 1 1/2 yards for unpieced “spacer” blocks and approximately 1 yard of background fabric for pieced blocks.

Pieced blocks:

• 1 yd of focal/inspiration print

• 1/2 yard of 8+ coordinates

• For scrappier versions, consider selecting 8 coordinating colors & using a variety of colors in the same shade/tonal range.

Borders:

• 20 Block layout finishes at 60” x 72” BEFORE adding borders. Determine border yardage based on preferred border width.
