Introducing the OLFA Sampler Quilt – A FREE Project You’ll Love!
I have something super exciting to share with you! I designed a FREE Sampler Quilt for the OLFA Craft Blog, and I just know you’re going to love it!
This quilt brings together five classic blocks in a fresh, modern way, making it a fun and flexible project to make your own. It’s a great way to try something new while building your quilting skills! Whether you're up for a challenge or just want to explore different block styles, I think you’re going to love this one!
Over the course of six months, I created detailed tutorials and step-by-step instructions for all the techniques you’ll need to make this quilt (or your own unique version). I did my absolute best to make sure everything is clear, approachable, and easy to follow!
Check out this fun video of all the blocks coming together to make this quilt!
What Blocks Make-Up the OLFA Sampler Quilt?
This quilt brings together five distinctive quilt blocks, each with its own dedicated tutorial on the OLFA Craft Blog:
Each blog post walks you through cutting, piecing, and assembly, making it easy to follow along and bring your own version of the quilt to life
Whether you're new to quilting or looking to build your skills, I've got you covered! Each block is paired with an additional blog post that breaks down the process even further, making it easier to piece with confidence.
BONUS! All blocks finish at 18" x 18", making them perfect for all kinds of projects like quilted pillows, tote bags, or anything else you can dream up if you want to get creative beyond a quilt!

Bringing It All Together
Now's your chance to really let your own voice shine! Bring all your blocks together by making a few of each, mixing and matching, and arranging them into a sampler-style quilt that feels balanced but lets each design stand out. It’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with colour, contrast, and layout… so have fun and make it your own!
