Skill Builder Sampler

Leila is hosting a Skill Builder Sampler and I thought it would be a useful way to try new blocks and methods of piecing.  However, I didn't really have the money at the moment to splash out on new fabric, so I thought, being a sampler quilt, I'd just use what I had and it would be a scrappy sampler quilt.
I am using fabric leftover from some quilt tops I've just finished, and a few fat quarters that I have left, though there aren't many of those at the moment.
The first block last week, was a log cabin block.
This is my first ever log cabin block, such a simple block, yet, I've not done one up until now.  I was quite happy with how it turned out too, it was the perfect size after minimal trimming.

The next block was released yesterday, so I hope to work on it today.  This is one I've done before, a nine patch block.
