A few months ago I decided to join in the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt sew -along to make #100days100blocks where the idea was to sew a block each day for the 100 days.
These are my 100 blocks after sashing - I basically followed the colours from the book and even the same prints if I had them otherwise I would still be choosing fabrics for my blocks:)
The layout I decided to use was "Gridlocked" from Tulas book although I needed to rearrange a few blocks that didn't quite fit the colour gradient.
There are quite a few other layout ideas listed in the book and I have also seen some amazing ideas on Pinterest, flickr and IG.
I had this quilted at my LQS - Rainbow Patchwork, and chose some of the gorgeous Tula Free Fall in Orchid for the backing, before binding in the raspberry diamond print from Acacia.
wow! - that looks great - love the rainbow effect.
ReplyDeletePretty! So very encouraging too. I have the book, but haven't gotten past 6 blocks. Of course, I have moved twice since doing the last square. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;))
ReplyDeleteThis turned out SO beautiful! You did a fantastic job with color!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning quilt Kirsten...dare I say I love it better than the original! Congratulations on another wonderful finish!
ReplyDeleteI am easily sidetracked, so I only have the first 5 blocks completed, so I admire your tenacity to get a finished quilt. It's gorgeous! And gives me inspiration to pull out my fabric and start in again on it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I love it! Thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2016 global FAL hosts.
ReplyDeleteAmazing result!
ReplyDeleteDoing the 100days100blocks2018 challenge. Love your end result. I hope mine looks even half as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteThis may be an impossible question, but what gray fabric did you use! I love this!
