Generations of Love quilt from the book Oh, Happy Day!Īs I mentioned in my video, the fun of a sampler sew along based on blocks from a book is that it allows you to try out the different blocks. All of the 9 blocks that we are making from the book will be 12 1/2″ square. The rectangles are sewn together into pairs and then the pairs into rows.
