1880 Sampler Sew Along

 You should have everything you need to put this little

cutie together. While I loved the quirky way the original
quilt was set, I have changed things up a bit from the original
to eliminate partial seams which would be almost impossible
to explain to you here in this format. If you are missing any
blocks you will need to scroll back through all the 1880
Sampler instructions.You can find all the posts here.
If you would like to give the original setting a shot
here is a great image for you to use as reference.

Finished Quilt | 30" x 40"
 To finish the quilt you will need to cut 

the following from setting fabric:

39 | 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles

4 | 2-1/2" x 42" strips | borders

+  +  +  +  +  +  +

You will notice that you are going to need three
more half blocks. Sorry I miss counted. I made
two crazy blocks and another one using
leftover bits and pieces.
+  +  +  +  +  +  +

Add border using your quilts dimensions for

 length of 2-1/2" strips. Quilt as desired and bind.
