Here is my version of Tula Pink's City Sampler Quilt. In the original design, there are 100 blocks. I made 64 blocks because 100 felt daunting at the time and larger than the size that I wanted.
The two ladies who roped me into making this quilt in the first place set a challenge for all of us. The challenge was to complete one block a week (which didn't last long once we got hooked) and to make all of the blocks out of leftover fabric from previous projects.
Because I was a newbie when I started this quilt I didn't have a lot of scraps, so I had to raid other's thrown out pieces of material.
Just between us, I dipped my hand into my mom's private stash of delicious fabrics.
The material isn't the only thing that makes a quilt a piece of art but the quilting itself.
I free-motion quilted each block differently, to help define my fabric choices and the makeup of the block.
Every quilt is officially finished when your name tag is added to the back.
Let's make this the bee's knees.
