I'm sharing simple layout and construction instructions for a Summer Sampler Quilt with sashing and cornerstones. One thing I like about this design--if you made more (or less) than 12 blocks, it is really easy to figure out how to tweak the finishing instructions. In fact, I share cutting instructions for a 4x4 grid, a 4x5 grid, as well as a 3x4 grid without the outer sashing/cornerstones.

Thanks so much for joining us on this free quilt along!

The original 2011 quilt along was based on blocks that we found in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, which soon after became almost impossible to find. Good news: if you are interested in Brackman’s Encyclopedia, which included 4,000+ blocks, you can find an updated version here.
