Block No. 16

Despite the baggy and unintentionally rotated photo op, I have a quilt back. And that would be for my City Sampler quilt. Oh yeah!
I'm still {quite} a bit apprehensive about quilting this one, but I'm getting closer to just having to face it. Recreating City Sampler block No. 16 for a backing was a pleasant distraction. It started out with one of the few larger pieces of Tula Pink fabric I had in my stash - Pomegranate Parisville Eye Drops. Then I added my first piece of Modern Solids by Alissa Haight Carlton in Raspberry (dare I say, I'm impressed?), Kona Eggplant, and lastly, Egg Dots in Eggplant from Blank Quilting.
I really like when I can echo at least a component of a quilt front on the back. So progress has been made!


Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday.

  5. What a fabulous idea for a quilt back! I'm going to have to remember this idea. You should see my City Sampler quilt back -- a very random assortment of leftover strips!
