Modern Plus Sampler ➕ Design Reveal

The day has finally arrived to reveal the Modern Plus Sampler based on many of the design elements  from the book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts. This is just one version, all traditional piecing, I made with mostly Tula Pink fabrics.


On July 5th, the fabric requirements and more layout options will be revealed including Cheryl's version she made here which includes some paper piecing and applique.

 Schedule

The Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along posts will be on the first Thursday of every month. You can always find information on the Modern Plus Sampler QAL page.  

Here's what the first few months look like:



About the Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along

The Modern Plus Sampler is a free quilt-along that will run from July 2018 until April 2019 that uses most of the blocks from the Modern Plus Sign Quilts book all incorporated in to a new lap size, plus sign design.

The pattern will be at the confident beginner level with a few more challenging blocks. Don't worry if you have questions or get stuck, we will all be quilting together and you can ask me or Cheryl's Facebook group any questions you have along the way.

Most of the quilt will be traditionally pieced, but there will be a couple of applique blocks and paper pieced blocks.  We encourage you to try these and learn some new skills. If you would like to avoid applique and/or paper piecing, we will be giving alternative instructions to avoid these methods.



Get the Book

You will need the book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts, in order to quilt along with us as the Modern Plus Sampler includes many design elements from the book.



Modern Plus Sign Quilts can be obtained through the following (Amazon is an affiliate link):

As of today, the Kindle version can be purchased for only $9.99 and the print version for $16.94.


Everything is so nice and green after the rain we've been having that my quilt blends right into the landscape.

  1. Wow, this is wonderful, but I could not see how the rod holding the quilt was kept so high? Maybe the magic fairies hiding in the trees came to help.Am I right in guessing this is on your own piece of land, and your own trees? Looks lush and green, perfect backdrop for pinks.

  2. Your quilt looks right at home in the trees! I wondered if the quilting fairies were keeping it suspended in mid air too...

  15. This is absolutely beautiful! I was planning to tackle the more challenging blocks, but I actually really like this variation that leaves them out. I can't wait to start this quilt along! Like many commenters, I noticed that your quilt seemed to be suspended by magic! Lovely!
