Sorry this is up so late. I was working on a Dresden Plate block for the next tutorial in the series, but it didn’t turn out right. I tried it again but still with no luck. Third time may be the charm, so maybe you’ll see it next week. As for now: when in doubt, log cabin. Every sampler quilt needs a log cabin, right?
I’ve decided to do my block super-mini*, but I’m aware normal people, unlike me, do things like sleep and have a social life, so I’ve shared measurements for a little less time consuming regular-mini block as well. It’ll be four 6” blocks comprising a 12” block. (Mine—and yours if you are so inclined—will be sixteen 3” blocks making up a 12” block.) There is more info in the tutorial document.
*I’m still trying really hard to use up all those really tiny scraps that I’m overwhelmed with but can’t bear to throw out.

Really sweet! I love log cabin quilts! I actually did the opposite of you and made a huge log cabin block instead of mini: http://3sistersofgrace.blogspot.com/2010/10/zion-quilt.html
Cannot wait to see your sampler quilt put together!

I think log cabins are my favorite kind of quilting! A big HURRAY here!

I have a huge box of scraps too- this will be perfect and just my speed. Quilting still frustrates me!
