It took longer than I planned, but the complete series of Super Simple Sampler video tutorials is now up on Color Girl YouTube. The original Sampler was made a few years ago as a monthly project, and you can still find all 36 block instructions here on the website: Click Here to go to that page. I’ve also given you two options for setting the blocks together into a finished top.
The original quilt features 72 six inch sampler blocks, 36 from the Tula Pink City Sampler book and 36 that I designed myself and show you how to sew here. You’ll find the setting instructions (like the quilt shown above) on a series of posts you can follow <<Here>>.
For my 2018-2019 Super Simple Sampler, I decided to make just the 36 blocks that I designed and alternate them with pink and white hourglass blocks. It’s going to make a good little throw size quilt. Read all about how I got this one started, why it’s all pink, and the special person it’s going to be gifted to <<here>>
This is the first quilt along on Color Girl YouTube and I hope it serves as a great resource especially for newer quilters to learn some key piecing, cutting and pressing skills to apply to other quilting projects. <<click here to see the entire playlist>>

I hope you’ll subscribe to Color Girl YouTube so you’ll know when new videos are up. I am loving this format and plan to keep doing quilt alongs. The next series I am working on features curved piecing and all about the Classic Curves Ruler.

I love color also that’s why I loved to quilt in the first place. I thank you for your message! I hope to start your blocks soon. Nanette
Hi,
I am excited to begin work on the squares as well. Will there be a tutorial for the sashing and borders? I love the idea of using more than one color for that part of the quilt. Thank you for your inspirations.
