Based off a 19th Century Sampler Quilt, this civil war era quilt features pieced and applique blocks by Minick and Simpson. The Austin Bluebird Sampler is a crisp, vibrant grouping of Minick & Simpson fabrics. This is such a charming reproduction with 2 birds on a branch surrounded by rose buds, flowers, cherries and pears. The happy bluebirds are surrounded by pieced blocks in the style of the original 19th century sampler quilt.

The finished quilt measures 75"x 84", and the kit includes all of the exact fabrics as shown in their original quilt as well as the complete pattern pack, and binding - more than 19 yards of fabric in all!

We have several options for you - you can elect to join as a regular 12 month Block of the month, or, if you prefer you may sign up for the 6 month 'Accelerated BOM' where you will receive 2 blocks per month, and finally you have the option to purchase the entire quilt at one time.
