This week I have been working my way through a friend’s copy of Tula Pink’s “100 Modern Quilt Blocks” . It has been a lot of fun.
I started by pulling some soft, pretty fabrics. It was the name, Tula Pink that made me want to go with this palette. I pulled soft pinks, reds and greys including a handful of solids.
Then I worked my way through some of the patterns I had flagged. One by one I selected the fabric, cut it, then sewed the block together. It was a slow, deliberate process and I loved every minute of it. I definitely do not have as much done as I would pre-cutting my fabric and working with just one pattern but this is a refreshing change of pace.
My work space is little more hectic as well, but I found a great use for my cookbook holder….
At the end of yesterday I had a nice little pile of blocks…
Here are some of my favorite so far, using the books numbering system to name them.
Block 72
Block 79
Block 96
Block 36
Block 12
Block 32
I have about 40 more blocks to go… this is another “on going project” that may take a while!
