Last year I started working on a 'Test Your Skills Sampler'. I didn't keep up with it very well, and by the time I got back to it, the instructional posts had stopped. I decided this fall to plow ahead with it anyway, doing the best I could to figure out the blocks. This week I learned that the women who started the quilt, is going to post the rest of the instructions.

Last night I pulled out my completed blocks and put them on my 'design wall', which is actually a piece of batting I lay on my bed. This is an awful picture since the lighting in my bedroom isn't great at night.
My quilt will not be exactly like the one she made because I have changed a block or two. Also, all her blocks seem to float on the quilt because all the background is the same color. I knew when I started this one that I was short a couple of yards of backing, but I wanted to use stash only. I really don't have a plan of how to continue, I'm just going to see what happens.

This is wonderful! I think if your background fabric is all similar, it will still look like the blocks are floating. Hmmm... now I'm going to make some of the background different shades in EQ to see what it looks like!
