100 Days Later.......

99 blocks +1=100

I finished!!!   Several months ago, I saw a message from Angie at Gnome Angel for her sew along using Tula Pink's City Sampler book and quilt.  I was missing not having a circle to make every day so I ordered the book.  The first few blocks had 20-25 pieces and four or five fabrics in a 6.5" block. I almost gave up there but ordered some fabrics and decided to it. Most of those fabrics weren't used and all, except for four of the blocks, were made from my existing stash.

I'm so glad that I did!  I've seen so many new ways to look at the same block and so many ways to use colors to make a block look different.  There are holiday quilts, solid color quilts, a denim one and several people used just one color or black, white and grey.  All are on the Instagram 100days100blocks2018.

 Now to layout my blocks and make a quilt of them....and to clean up my mess...fabrics migrated from my shelves to a laundry size basket and grew to overflowing.  They need to be refolded and reshelved..a daunting task!

Sajou Quiltalong

Lori, from Humble Quilts, has a new quiltalong.  It's an 18" medallion quilt in three parts and this is part 1.  I'm late with this as part 2 came out this morning! I've been wavering between several different fabrics for the center section for several days while I worked on other projects.  I finally settled on this small piece of drapery fabric and am doing it with Christmas colors but not Christmas fabrics so I'll have something seasonal.  I still haven't located my box of unfinished Christmas quilts from the move!

Even though part 2 came out this morning, I haven't looked at it yet.  I didn't want to spoil the surprise!  I'll work on that tonite after my City Sampler block...#96!
