Work in Progress Wednesday

I made 12 more blocks for my City Sampler quilt. Here are a few. 

I decided I should lay them out in color families to make sure I am keeping things balanced. 

Apparently, I am partial to green!  I am rather liking this layout as well.

I pieced the top for my SQT challenge quilt also. 

I hope to get this quilted and the machine stitching for the binding done today.

Linking up with Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday and Sew  Fresh Quilt’s for Let’sBee Sewcial.

    I like all your City Sampler blocks and the layout

  2. Jane says:

    I love what you’re doing with the City Sampler. Seeing everyone’s different versions of it is such fun, and yours is the first I’ve seen using solids like this. I can’t wait to see how it comes out!

  3. I’m really diggin’ on those colors – love the layout and how you are using the darks vs. lights – looks fantastic.

    very nice! i like your sampler blocks and rainbow/monochromatic color choices!

    I like your color family layout–and I like the unevenness of the rows. If you get tired of doing all the blocks (not that you will, I’m sure), this would be a neat format, with the uneven negative space at the bottom. I also like the contrast between your modern looking quilt blocks and your antique-looking fabrics/quilt.

    I like the layout and color scheme. The solids bring a new perspective to this pattern. Very cool.

    Mmmm ..I love this cheddar !

    I like the ‘rainbow’ layout of the city blocks. what is the name of the block you’ve used for the SQT challenge? And, excuse my ignorance, what is a/the SQT challenge?

    You and I must be on the same wave length. LOL! I have started my SQT quilt, too and was thinking of using the same color half square triangles. I may have to switch it up so I won’t be a copy cat. LOL! Love your City Sampler quilt. I normally sew with reproduction fabrics but I am really starting to love the solids that are out there.

    I’ve made the Tula blocks, too. They look fantastic in solids! Very vibrant!
