I like to teach quiltmaking using a sampler quilt format. I think it helps students ‘study’ the various techniques that are helpful in quiltmaking.
Here is some student work:
I wrote about Alice’s Sampler in 2007. She used batiks to make it and it just glows.
Beth’s Sampler using two color fabric choices:

Didn’t she do a nice job? This can be a really challenging color choice, because the maker doesn’t have much to work with in terms of creating contrast. Beth did an excellent job.
