About the Anniversary Sampler

Like other blocks in the First Anniversary Sampler Quilt, the Capital T finishes at 12-inches square.

I love how the brightly colored paisley fabrics look against a neutral background. This combination works for lots of themes, but be sure to choose fabrics that "fit" your sampler quilt.

Dark Paisley Fabrics

  • Cut four 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" squares, each from a different paisley.

  • Cut two 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares from each paisley. On the back of each square, draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner.

Background Fabric

  • Cut four 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" squares

  • Cut eight 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles

  • Cut one 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square
