Oh, Happy Day! Sampler Sew Along Week 7

Guess which block we are making today for our Oh, Happy Day! sampler.  I hope you are feeling festive! =)

Block #7 is the Twinkle & Shine block.  I really enjoyed making up this block using Buttercup & Slate fabrics…it has such a different feel from the festive holiday fun of the original quilt.

I mentioned in today’s video that I have had this quilt in my sketchbook for a long time.  In thinking back, I remember exactly where I was when I sketched it up and I have to think it was around 2015. =)
