As a quilter beginner (or beginner quilter????, quilt beginner????) I've decided to make a lap quilt and learn as much as possible during the process....

Only recently I discovered that I'm doing a Sampler Quilt ... Poor blonde girl

all of the blocks are 10 inches finished and random color.

probably I'll use the QAYG method.....

This are the first 5 blocks

I want to include traditional and old quilt blocks

any suggestions ?

Very nice blocks. That is a great way to learn how to make them.

Very nice blocks. Are you going to use a sashing between the blocks? I'm a bit weird, but I like to see a punch of black with white small print as sashing material when the blocks are truly a scrappy look.

Your are doing so good with the points. I had to smile because this is how I started: practising different blocks and it ended up in my very first bed quilt. Keep on the good word and have fun

It's turning out great! Don't forget to post again when you've finished.

You are off to an amazing start and yes your points are way past beginning.
If you go to Quilters Cache they have SO many squares - some free, some requiring copyright - and many are 10" finished size. I think they also have info on how to change a square to the size you want. And you can sort by size.

Good luck and keep posting your progress!
