Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson started The Splendid Sampler Sew-Along in February 2016 to bring the whole world together to quilt. More than 31,000 quilters from all walks of life have joined the sew-along, and more keep joining every day (you can join too!). They published The Splendid Sampler as a companion book for the sew-along—and of course it became a runaway best seller!
Now Pat and Jane are back with 100 all-new quilt blocks, 80 talented designers, and another year of sewing fun—we’re overjoyed to be the publisher of their splendid sequel, The Splendid Sampler 2!
Inside The Splendid Sampler 2, you’ll find one hundred blocks, designed by Pat and Jane plus superstar quilters Lissa Alexander, Carrie Nelson, Jenny Doan, Susan Ache, Betsy Chutchian, Rob Appell, and many more. The 6″ blocks are made with patchwork, appliqué, embroidery, and paper piecing and provide plenty of opportunities to try new techniques. You’ll discover fun ideas for arranging your blocks in a gallery of sampler quilts, too!
Here’s a peek at every beautiful block in the book, and the samplers you can create with them:
But what’s really special about “The Splendid Sampler” series? You can share your progress online and experience the joys of quilting with a “Splendid” community of quilters!
Here are Pat and Jane to tell you more!
Pat Sloan (right) and Jane Davidson (left) here today to launch The Splendid Sampler 2 book!
When we finished the sew-along for the first book, it was exciting to see all the finished quilts coming in (you can see hundreds of them on our Gallery page). As the weeks went on and Jane and I chatted, we got to thinking about how much we missed the excitement of working with all the designers. We missed announcing which block to sew each week and having you meet our friends. So we hatched a plan to do book two!
100 Blocks + 1, 72½" × 72½", designed and pieced by Jane Davidson and Pat Sloan
We invited 80 designers to join us—some who participated in the first book and some new ones too! Patterns and blocks were ready in June 2018, but the release date for the second book was still months away. So we decided to give you 20 blocks from the new book in our Facebook group while we waited for it to be printed, yippee!
Heart and Hands, 52½" × 56½", designed by Pat Sloan, pieced by Melanie Barrett
Since June, thousands of blocks have been made and shared. It’s so exciting! It’s so much fun to see the same block in different fabrics. Many of the designers have their own fabric lines and have been sharing the blocks they make in their signature style. Enjoy this slideshow of some of their blocks and see if you can spot a designer you know:
Here are just a few members of the team posting a block each week in our Facebook group and on social media—follow along!

I would dive in to the paper piecing chapter! I love it but haven’t done any in a long while.
—Sandy Allen on October 24, 2018I love all three so I might not pick a chapter but would jump around through all 3 looking at the beautiful blocks and make them as they inspire me with fabric choices. Yum! So luscious, the diversity of blocks and designers!
—Sandie Griego on October 24, 2018Patchwork! Piecing is my passion, although I enjoy applique and paper piecing also.

—Brenda on October 24, 2018I’m already sewing along and eagerly await the new block released each Thursdsy. I will probably try another FPP or appliqué and embroidery.
—Karen Fredrickson on October 24, 2018I’ve been sewing along with Pat Sloan, and a local quilt shop is doing it with a meeting on the first Saturday of each month (which I think I might join in with.) I have pre ordered the book- and hear it’s arriving this week. Woo Hoo. I am not one to jump in any particular type of block- but prefer to do them in an orderly fashion; one at a time in the order they are presented… so if Pat is doing them all mixed up, I am going to be in trouble if I am left to my own devices LOL. I will need to fill it in as printed in the book, in order. My life is messy enough without having order in at least one area of it.
—Rebecca Christie on October 24, 2018I would do the embroidery blocks first and then the paper piecing!!
—Peggy on October 24, 2018I have been sewing along with the Splendid Sampler II. I love the variety of sewing methods that I get to try. Some I love and have done before and some are brand new to me. Thanks for the chance to win .

—Deb Derogee on October 24, 2018⚘ I would flip to B. The embroidery and applique chapter first. Loving the touches of embroidery amongst the patchwork. I have not been sewing along as I have 2 other quilts started and one is a gift with s deadline. But I love it! Especially the Kitty block. Thanks for this opportunity to win such a sweet package of gifts!
—Nancy Albritton on October 24, 2018I have been sewing along. Enjoyed SS1 and love learning more from the designers of SS2.
—Sherry Kosbab on October 24, 2018I am behind but I have been trying to follow and stay up with the sew along. As soon as my book arrives I cannot wait to dive into the foundation-piecing chapter. For SS1, I made 2 quilts of different colorways and learned so much. This time I am making a quilt and my 21 year old daughter is making her own quilt. We are both enjoying the time together and learning new things.
—Joan Adams on October 24, 2018I would like to do patchwork chapter
—Foo Cheau yun on October 24, 2018I’ve been sewing along! Great experience.
—Penney on October 24, 2018I have a strange habit of beginning at the end of a book or magazine;therefore, I would most likely begin with the section which is at the end of the book.
—Becky Wells on October 24, 2018I am going to look at the applique chapter first. For some reason they seem to have the most appeal.
—Renata on October 24, 2018I think I would start off with the patchwork chapter, followed by the foundation-piecing chapter and end with the applique and embroidery.

—Joanne on October 24, 2018I have been sewing for about 40 yrs. and I would look at the appliqué and embroidery chapter first.
—Sabrina van Ginkel on October 24, 2018I have just started the sew along, ordering book for myself for Christmas!

—Liz Kuntz on October 24, 2018Probably the patchwork chapter
—Sharon on October 24, 2018Patchwork is where I would continue.started with the free ones .

—Diane Wright on October 24, 2018The patchwork chapter

—Patricia Hersl on October 24, 2018The foundation piecing chapter. I need to learn this skill.
—Pat on October 24, 2018My passion has always been embroidery and applique. Naturally I will check those chapters first, choose some favourites before completing the remaining blocks. Once my main passion has been satisfied, I intend to move onto machine piecing and lastly paper piecing. My very first paper piecing from Splendid Sampler 2 was a challenge but my quilt would not be complete without those blocks.
—Marilyn Kinniburgh on October 24, 2018I would dive right into the Patchwork Chapter! It s all about the patchwork!
—Shelley Rowe on October 24, 2018I would probably not pick a specific chapter but just pick and choose from each of them. I love the new book.
—Bonnie Huisjen on October 24, 2018Appliqué and embroidery are currently my favourite crafts, so I guess that chapter would be where I’d start. (Once I’d flipped through the book multiple times!)
—Anne Mc on October 24, 2018I am almost caught up and expect the book to arrive tomorrow. I will probably start with paper piecing since I am new to it and love the blocks we have done so far.
—Penny on October 24, 2018I would definitely dive into paper piecing. I find this the funest way to quilt. Thank you.
—Roxanne White on October 24, 2018I plan to start with the appliqué chapter. It’s the area I’m weakest in and so desire to become proficient. Love this book.
—Nona on October 24, 2018It’s a toss-up between patchwork and appliqué.
—Verna A. on October 24, 2018I would look at it all and then decide.
—Betty 4 4 on October 24, 2018I would dive into the patchwork first but the others wouldn’t be far behind!
—Ellie Lively on October 24, 2018I would start at the first page and take my time going through to the end. Thanks for the chance to win!
—Sheri Hubley on October 24, 2018Applique and embroidery chapter.
—Judy Sanders on October 24, 2018Since this is the first time I have ever done anything like this, I don’t know where I would start. Hmmmm??? 🤔I’d just get excited to start checking the book/blocks out. This has really been a fun process. The anticipation for Thursday! I have a girlfriend who does not sew at all and she told me this venture has been the highlight of her week. (When I show her my block!) She has loved this anticipation & journey too! 😘
—Pat Bernhardt on October 24, 2018I would dive into the patchwork chapter! My favorite thing! Although, appliqué is a close second!
—Shelley on October 24, 2018I would start with foundation piecing…I’ve never tried!
—Stephanie on October 24, 2018I need to work on my applique and embroidery, so I would "play to my weakness" and start there. Loved the first Splendid Sampler and eventually bought the book after downloading the patterns faithfully. Would love to just jump into Sampler 2!
—Susan Putman on October 24, 2018I would start with applique….my favorite! Then move on to whatever strikes me!
—Jane Busby on October 24, 2018I would dive into the applique blocks because it is a new experience for me. I love the modern look of many of the blocks, can’t wait to try out the foundation piecing also. Looks like a GREAT book, Congratulations and Good Luck!!!!
—Delia Tokarz on October 24, 2018I’m already seeing along. I enjoy the group commaraderie as we see each weeks block
—Judy on October 24, 2018I would read the whole book and then pick the blocks I would like to takel first.
—Linda on October 24, 2018Definitely patchwork!!
—Chrisknits on October 24, 2018I haven’t had a chance to see along with the Splendid Sampler 2, so I would dive into the applique and embroidery chapter first. I loved the first Splendid Sampler, and this one looks like there are a lot of new designers that have contributed. I can’t wait!
—Joy Meetis on October 24, 2018I would start with the patchwork section. Thanks for the chance to win this great book.

—Kim on October 24, 2018I always start a book on page one! So I would do it in order. I have been following the sew along, but to date haven’t started, due to many family illnesses this year. I do think instead of just a quilt, I will make many different projects such as a baby quilt, a flower wall hanging with the “flowery” blocks, holiday runners, a bag, mug rug and sew on!
—Sheila Boser on October 24, 2018I would start with the patchwork chapter and then go to the foundation paper piecing.

—Kathy Kranenburg on October 24, 2018I totally need vol.2 to sit next to vol.1 on my shelf…that is, if it gets that far! I would especially enjoy the new skills it could help me acquire in applique and embroidery!
—Robin on October 24, 2018I will go straight to the appliqué and embroidery section!
—Julia Elliot on October 24, 2018The patchwork chapter would get my attention first. But I also need to increase my paper piecing skills so that would be second. Thank you for offering this giveaway.
—Marly on October 24, 2018I would definitely start with the chapter on foundation piecing. It is one of my favourite quilting methods.
—Deb on October 24, 2018I’d probably start with the chapter on foundation piecing because I haven’t done that in quite a while, and it should work well with the small six inch blocks.
—Jane on October 24, 2018I’m a patchwork girl. Just like the first Splendid Sampler book, I will begin at the beginning then follow the rest QAL2.
—Colleen O'Hogan on October 24, 2018I don’t have a real preference for any method; I enjoy them all! I would be tempted to start with foundation pieces first though, since I would be assured of precision (and therefore correct) blocks to jump start the project.
—Linda B on October 24, 2018I’d probably dive right into the patchwork chapter first only because that is my comfort zone. However, I am looking forward to learning more and doing more appliqué and paper piecing. I’m loving the embroidery as well!

—Marlene on October 24, 2018I have been sewing along every week, I was hooked after making 2 Spendid Sampler quilts last year, the first one in 3 weeks from scraps then the 2nd in a more controlled color palette. I started the SS2 after all I have a 3rd grand daughter to gift it to, I’m loving the new blocks but not my color scheme so I’m considering starting over making the sewn blocks into a small table quilt for me. Crazy right? As to what chapter I would dive into first with the new book. I think I would use a random drawing jar to pick a block to sew , I think it would keep it more fun for me.
—Barbara Heyden on October 24, 2018I’d probably start with the applique and embroidery patterns as that seems to be what I’m into these days. I really like that these are 6″ blocks.
—Laura B on October 24, 2018I would start with the foundation paper piecing as I am a newbie at this technique. I have just completed my first project. Also I love patchwork so this book could keep me busy all winter . It looks so interesting. Love the idea of a quilt along!

However, once my husband and friends continued to encourage me to try, I discovered that I truly enjoyed it!

I am learning a lot with this proyect. Greetings.
MARU REYNOSO.
I was sewing along for a day or two, but life kind of threw me a curve and really took me down a long and winding road. Its been a challenge.
But if I had this book, I would just jump in! I love all the blocks, but I would like to do better at my applique I think. And my embroidery, really needs help !!! And paper piecing! Oh my goodness, it just does not come naturally to me, so I really need to learn and practice paper piecing.
I am ready to start sewing again. I need to get my life back, after I feel like I have been totally crushed.
—jaime on October 25, 2018Applique is my first choice. That would be the first chapter I would look at. But, you never know. I might just find a pieced block that I can’t live without!

—Teri on October 25, 2018I’m pretty sure I would flip through the whole book and then do the block that most appeals to me, be it patchwork, applique, embroidery, or paper piecing. I kind of go by how it looks rather than how it is made.

—Sandi on October 25, 2018I have been sewing along with Alyssa from Penguin and Fish, without her I wouldn’t have attempted it at all. I watched the first few blocks before jumping in. As a new quilter I am more confident with piecing, but am getting used to appliqué. I’m sure once I can remember all the steps in the right order FPP will be ok. Have discovered I like hand sewing the least. Although strangely embroidery is very relaxing. It’s been great to try different techniques and varying methods within those. I wonder if my favourites will have changed by the end of the Splendid Sampler 2?

—Renea Yarolim on October 26, 2018I would love the patchwork section. Applique would be my second choice
—mary johnson on October 26, 2018I would go to the appliqué and embroidery chapters first, then have a go at the foundation piecing.
—Maureen Delahunt on October 26, 2018I think I would go for the applique, as I have never done much, it will be a challenge.
—Liz Sumner on October 26, 2018Have been sewing along with the free blocks. When my book gets here I will probably start with the patchwork then go to paper piecing and save the applique and embroidery for last. Am learning lots of new techniques while sewing along. Still not a fan of needle turn applique.
—Alice McFarlane on October 26, 2018I would start with the Appliqué section first as I am always searching for the best way to machine appliqué even if the patterns are for hand appliqué. Then I would choose the patchwork section as I can always learn how to improve patchwork. Ellen Theobald on October 26, 2018
—Ellen on October 26, 2018I’m just finishing a sampler and would like to do this one next. I’d like to start with the paper pieceing. Thank you for the opportunity to win

—Mary W. on October 26, 2018Definitely it would be the patchwork chapters, although I really want to try applique.
—Phyllis Holcomb on October 26, 2018Patchwork is my favorite, then I’d head for the applique and embroidery.
—Caryn Goulden on October 26, 2018I’d start with the foundation piecing chapter. Those blocks turn out so great! I’ve been checking out the blocks from the first and second year of Splendid Sampler but haven’t started sewing them yet. We did 3″-3 1/2″ blocks this year in our Quilt Guild and now I feel more comfortable doing the smaller blocks. I can’t wait to start with these! Hope I win the book and fabrics!!
—Janet Sabol on October 26, 2018The appliqué and embroidery chapter. I especially like the way applique and embroidery is combined in some of the blocks.

—Glenna Denman on October 26, 2018I would do the appliqué chapter first!
—Bridget on October 26, 2018Oh, I definitely want to do the foundation paper piecing first. I’m looking forward to that as well as the others, but that will be first. After I get my new-to-me mechanical Bernina up & running for applique then that, but first must do foundation paper piecing.
—Penny M on October 26, 2018I love precision piecing AND appliqué. I will probably begin with a pieced block, followed by an appliqué block and then add a few paper pieced blocks later. It has been great to get sneak peeks of the blocks in the new book the past few months. Can’t wait to begin with my own copy!
—Pat Naveau on October 26, 2018I’ll dive into the patchwork chapter.
—Ann schissler on October 26, 2018I would immediately go to the patchwork chapter! I love watching how the ‘puzzle’ of a quilt block comes together step by step! Next would be the applique and embroidery chapter. Learning to do applique is the next technique I want to master.
—Debbie Dunn on October 26, 2018would love to win, beautiful work
—Leona P. on October 26, 2018I love patchwork (a) and appliqué (b) so I may spend a long time just looking and dreaming of different fabric choices! In the end I’m sure I’ll go with (b) and appliqué with some Christmasy embellishments💕
—Sharon Bochmann on October 26, 2018I love to look through a whole book when I first receive it and will most likely start with the patchwork and then progress to the appliqué.

—Kathie Feller on October 26, 2018Paper piecing for sure!!! I want to learn so bad but so far I’m afraid of it, I haven’t found an easily explained way to approach it yet. Hoping this will be the way!
—Jeri Niksich on October 26, 2018The patchwork chapter, for sure! Can’t wait to finally see book 2!
—Karen M on October 26, 2018I have been sewing along but think I would dive into the foundation piecing first. I will sprinkle in the applique and embroidery blocks since they are usually more challenging for me.
—Dee Davis on October 26, 2018I would jump into the applique and embroidery chapter. I find embroidery relaxing and appliques are usually fun designs.
—Linda Nelson on October 26, 2018I love the variety of samplers, so I would begin with one block in each section!
—Erin l Robinson on October 26, 2018Both patchwork and paper piecing will be calling out to me, but I know I’ll turn to the Appliqué and Embroidery Chapter first!

—Kathy Gombis on October 27, 2018I am a fairly new piece quilter. Alot to learn but loving it! I would start at the front cover and go to the back cover and read every word!
—Lisa Mayo on October 27, 2018I usually check out the applique first, then the foundation, but start by piecing the patchwork first. It is the easiest technique for me.
—Madeline Wallace on October 27, 2018I love all three techniques and would probably jump around between all of them.
—Julie in GA on October 27, 2018Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

—Karen Haggard on October 27, 2018I will definitely go to the Applique and Embroidery chapter first.
—Lois R Oberg on October 27, 2018Probably I would check the patchwork section first. I made some blocks from the first group and have enjoyed some of this new group. I would love to own the book and fabric. Incentive to continue! Thanks!
—Marie Eddins on October 27, 2018I would dive into whichever chapter is first. I wouldn’t want to miss even a tiny tidbit of this book’s quilty goodness!
—Lela on October 27, 2018I’m a beginner quilter so the whole book will be a revelation to me! I would love more help with paper piecing, but applique will be such a great addition to my quilts. I love the whole process!
—Marijo Wakley on October 27, 2018The applique and embroider chapter.

—Michele Potter on October 27, 2018Patchwork! That’s my thing…patchwork samplers.

It’s been such fun learning new things, such as PP I had never tried it till I started the SS2. embroidery is another thing I didn’t know much about but I gave it my best. I have done some appliqué and I do enjoy that along with piecing. I’ll just jump in somewhere and keep going when I get a book.
—Barbara on October 27, 2018I think it’s winderful of Moda Fabrics to do a give away.
I guess since I started with Jane’s Pineapple block, it means I started with the applique section. But there are so many beautiful blocks, it is hard to decide. Even tho I am only partly through with my SS1 blocks, I feel I have learned a lot by venturing outside my comfort zone into the applique and embroidery techniques.
—Latayne Eck on October 27, 2018I’ve been sewing along but I am behind! I’ll just get at it! Thanks!
—Janet Nykiel on October 27, 2018Would like to quilt Mrs and learn new techniques.

—Susan on October 27, 2018I have been following along where I can, and have done about 1/2 the blocks so far. I would go to the paper piecing section first as this is what I’m the least familiar with, but enjoy the challenge! The whole sampler has been a really enjoyable educational stretch

—Judi on October 27, 2018I started the free blocks for SS2 and ordered SS1 right away. I made five blocks and wasn’t liking my fabric choices so I changed my mind and I’m getting ready to start again in the colors of FALL! I’ll be ordering SS2 in early November.

—Jeanne Smith on October 28, 2018I’d start with the patchwork section but am excited to try paper piecing and Applique.
—Jeanne on October 28, 2018I have been working on the 20 blocks. I start on the appliqué and stitching chapters. I have decided I need to learn more about needle turn appliqué!
—Barbara on October 28, 2018I will be like a kid in a candy store, drool-drool! Not sure where I would start probably wherever the drool does not mess up the pages, if there are any. It appears each and every page will be more delicious than the next. Thanks for the opportunity to enter to win this giveaway!
—Patsy on October 28, 2018I think I’ll start with the piecework blocks, but i like to mix things up. I can’t wait!

—Marie Bloechle on October 28, 2018I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed doing this. I look forward every week to see what block is coming next and then I think I can’t do it and then I challenge myself and then wallla I made it. So Im still stuck on some but I know I will finish it.

—Heleen van E on October 28, 2018Thanks for all .
This is a hard question! It’s a toss-up between the patchwork chapter and the foundation piecing chapter!
—Ann on October 28, 2018I have already started sewing along. The patchwork blocks go fastest for me, so I tend to start and finish those first. Then the embroidery blocks,I use those as handwork when traveling or waiting at appointments. The paper pieced blocks are harder for me, so they tend to wait the longest to be completed.
—Rachel Hiatt on October 28, 2018This is a hard decision to make! It would be a toss-up between the patchwork chapter and the foundation piecing chapter.
—Ann on October 28, 2018I’d dig into the patchwork section, then foundation piecing, and finally applique.

I did all the blocks in book 1 and I am using them to make runners and other neat projects that remind me of when I learned specific techniques. I did all my blocks with scraps, so it is very neat to have parts of my journey in my home and on the rv! I would be honored to win the 2nd book and fabric! Thank you for this opportunity, stay blessed and creative! 👍
—Stacey Martin on October 28, 2018I would drive into Paper piecing and then applique. I did all the blocks from the first book and would be honored to have the second.

—Victoria Lipp on October 28, 2018I would find the embroidery blocks to do first.
—Linda Cejnar on October 28, 2018I’ve downloaded some of the released patterns hoping to start but haven’t yet. I think I would start in the applique chapter just to get a good look at your applique process. I’ve done some on my own but it would be great to see different methods. I would go to the section with the quilt along and join in to keep on tract with all the interesting blocks. It seems like a great long term project!

—Katy Taylor on October 28, 2018I would start at the beginning, and work thru each block in order. My favorite is the applique blocks – and I have been working these blocks as they are offered on The Splendid Sampler site. I am working my blocks in Yellow, Grey, white and black (inspired by a print I picked up) – and I am LOVING this! I purchased the Splendid Sampler 1 book and am working those at the same time. Thanks for the great patterns!

—Susan Ikin on October 28, 2018I love piecing, so I will probably start with that, and do the embroidery While travelling, since it’s portable.
—Stella Liwanpo on October 28, 2018I would go straight to the appliqué and embroidery chapter as I am ready to start learning new skills. The Splendid Sampler 2 looks like a great place to start my new adventures in sewing.

—Susan on October 29, 2018I have really enjoyed he applique blocks so far…and see that THOSE are the ones most challenging to me. I’m learning a lot. Thank you Pat & Jane and all the designers!
—Debbie Darlington on October 29, 2018It would be a challenge, do I leave my favourite till last or just jump straight in? The later I think so it’s Foundation Paper Piecing here I come!
