I had to look back at my blog to see exactly when I started my Tula Pink City Sampler blocks and it was last October!
The last couple of days I've been making some progress. I've now completed 56 of the 100 modern sampler blocks. They are fun to make and quick - usually taking only minutes to complete.
The solids are either Kona or Oakshott. The patterned fabrics are all Tula Pink from various lines.
My favourite block still remains the first. Block No.1 The colours and fabrics are so pretty.
Having only a design floor, I laid out the blocks today on an old duvet cover.
After the last three quilt finishes having no negative space whatsoever, I know I want to sash these blocks. Perhaps Essex Linen in natural?
Anyway, I don't anticipate making the whole one hundred blocks. For one, the quilt would simply be too big for me to quilt. So now I'm going to pick and choose the blocks I make and avoid some of those triangle blocks!

Natural would be perfect! Block 1 is gorgeous, as are the rest and I like how warm the blocks look even with the cooler tones as well.
Yes natural would be great. These are looking fab!
A neutral sashing will let your blocks really shine! Lovely job Annabella!
It will be so very gorgeous! I hope to work on mine this week
The neutral sashing really makes the colors sing. They're beautiful together!

I used kona putty for my sisters quilt. It really makes the colours pop out
This is looking soooo good!
They're looking fantastic Annabella. I love the bright colours. Natural is great!
They look amazing. Each blocks is so pretty. The sashing in Natural will be great and make each block pop. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your progress.
This will be a treasure once it's completed
It is going to look amazing!
so much wonderful colour will be great with a more neutral sashing.
They're gorgeous! How about a dotty sashing? Or something with a small pattern that's like a dot but isn't a dot...
That looks so wonderful Annabella!
