100 Blocks in 100 Days: Week 3 • 2 Comments

sarah • May 27, 2017

I had to work ahead this week so I could post a few blocks from Disneyland this week. I've finished all the cross blocks now, and I'm working on the blocks featuring rectangles. I think my favorite block this week is Block 21, both since it was fast to complete the day after vacation (while three of us had a stomach bug!) and because I could sneak in a bit of my single charm square of feather fabric. I think Block 17 came out a little wonky, but I'm not sweating it in general and I think my choice of the purple print really helps mask the wonkiness. ;-)

I've completed another week of blocks for the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt along hosted on Instagram by Angie of Gnome Angel. Last week I showed you my first seven blocks. Next week I'll be moving into the next section of the book, rectangles, but here are seven more cross blocks for week two!

100 Blocks in 100 Days: Week 1 • 10 Comments

Last Fall I watched as hundreds of quilters participated in the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt along hosted on Instagram by Angie of Gnome Angel. Among others, I drooled over my friend Liz's blocks. So, when Angie was gearing up for another round, I knew I had to dive in. I knew I wanted to use my Tula Pink fabric stash. And I knew this quilt will be for me. I started by choosing a palette and pulled my Tula prints and Kona solids that were mainly green, blue or purple (with hints of pink).

Starting on May 7, participants started making one 6" block a day... we'll post the last block in the book on August 14. Participants are allowed to work ahead, but to be eligible for prizes we must post each block on the correct day (in our own time zone). The first couple weeks of blocks are all cross blocks. I'm really enjoying working with the Tula fabric and fussy cutting the cute critters. Here are my first seven blocks.
