Block 61/100 of our Splendid Sampler sew along is my 'Traveler' pieced block.

Well, here is my 11th Saturday Sampler block. It was very challenging...my worst block to date! Block Name: Star Crossover Block Designer: Diane Nagle Pattern from: Quiltmaker 100 blocks magazine (#67) The corner blocks went well, and the centre square was easy :) But the other blocks would not come out to the correct size. Double checked my cutting...perfect. Double checked my seam allowance...tried again with a smaller "scant" seam allowance...still no good. I just could not get the blocks to be the right size or match up in the seams. See what I mean?!? No amount of ripping and resewing could convince these points to line up. And so, I gave up and decided this would be part of the backing of the quilt that my Saturday Sampler blocks might become. It was not a good choice of project to tackle for National Quilt Day! But I did get to spend the day with some of my fellow mini quilt lovers and that was lots of fun!
This is one of my favorite quilt tops. I found it in Manhattan, Kansas a few years ago. Fellow shopper the quilt historian noted all the fa...
