I couldn’t find anything I thought was appropriate in my Splendid Sampler blocks, and I didn’t have any 1880 Sampler blocks to spare.
It was fun to go through some of my other block libraries to find something for Gavin’s card. This block is called Flying Pinwheel from the Block of the Day collection.
Somehow I missed posting for Michelle’s birthday, although I did make and send her a card. Michelle’s card is from the 1880 Sampler quilt-along I am participating in. When I first decided to make this quilt I wanted to use my 1930’s reproduction fabrics. But for the first two blocks I forgot I was going to do that and used some of my other scraps. This was one of the “oops” blocks.
Ryan’s card is also from the same series. The blocks are quick to make (usually) although they involve some small pieces. I’ll be making two of each of the blocks from now on so I’ll always have a card top ready!

It was nice to get back to a Splendid Sampler pattern for Dorothy’s card. And while I made one for Dorothy I also made one for myself! Someday that Splendid Sampler (The Second Time Around) will be finished!

We have two Dylan’s in our family. Some call this particular Dylan “Big Dylan” but I prefer “Dylan B”.
This pattern is part of an online sampler quilt-along that I am participating in.
