Patchwork City Revisited

Cleaning out a cupboard of quilting books a few weeks ago, I found 8(!) quilt blocks stuffed into my copy of Patchwork City by Elizabeth Hartman @elizabethagh. Apparently, I'd started a BOM in 2015(!!) but didn't keep up and stashed them away for another day. I no longer have any of those Tula Pink fabrics, so I wasn't sure what I might do to use the blocks. Maybe something together, but maybe not.


But over recent weeks, I've been thinking I might like to continue making blocks, and was looking at scrap bags of Tula's fabric for sale, though I hadn't yet purchased any. And then..... last night at our guild meeting, I was shocked to see a good sized bag of Tula Pink fabric scraps on the free table! You bet I snatched them right up.


So I've pressed and sorted them all, and discovered that they are basically from two lines - True Colors (Wildflower, Mineral, Pom Poms, Hexy, Fairy Dust, Tent Stripe prints in a variety of colorways) and Homemade (Busy Fingers, Seed Stitch, Getting Snippy prints, also in a variety of colorways). There were more of some prints than others, but it all added up to 1.5#, or approximately 4 yards of fabric if measured by weight. And you can see that there's a stack of solid scraps also. I have no way of knowing if they are Tula Pink solids or not, but there're certainly welcome, no matter. I'm also not 100% sure the colors and prints will mix well with the blocks I already have, but I'm going to try. SO, I have a couple of quilts to finish, and some bee and BOM blocks to make, but one of these days soon-ish, I'll dig into these fabrics and see what I can do.

City Sampler Quilt Along :: The Results

I'm feeling kind of apologetic for sharing my City Sampler quilt top again.
But gee whiz! Tula Pink herself(!) chose it as the 2nd place winner in the City Sampler Sew Along contest. Yup, I'm beyond thrilled. Tula's book and fabrics definitely inspired me. It's icing on the cake for her to affirm "Unlocked".

Click here to see a collage Tula posted on facebook of all the finished quilts. And here's the overall winner!
