Author, fabric designer, Nancy Mahoney, joins Pat this month for a deep dive into Sampler quilts. They both share what a sampler is, why you can benefit from working with one, and how to make them wonderful. Nancy explains how a sampler quilt can be used to learn new techniques, and what you might learn is that you don't care for that. Since you only made one block you can go onto something else!
