Happy Monday! I am heading down to Ikea today with Daughter #1 and Little Man. I am pretty sure I will find trouble to get into! But this is what is on my design wall at the moment.

Yep, city sampler blocks. And after playing around with this, I have decided I really like the way this is shaping up as a layout. I played around a bit in EQ7 to decide if I wanted to make any more blocks or not.


I think I prefer the white space at the top. This will give me lots of room to play with the quilting.

I kind of like the sashing and corner stones but need to think about it for a few days.
I also started a new project this weekend but I will share that with you tomorrow. Linking up with Patchwork a Times for DWMonday.

I really love this! I’m so drawn to rainbow quilts lately 🙂 did you find lots of good stuff at IKEA?
White on top you can quilt things growing up. On the bottom growing down. Look forward to seeing what you do.
I agree on white to top; however, if it were mine, I’d skip the sashing and cornerstones. I like the look of uneven columns clustered together. You will have fun quilting the white space!
I’m liking the white at the top too – actually looks like a city landscape with the towers of blocks standing against the sky!
I agree with the white at the top, too. And there is something about the sashing and cornerstones that I like … I think it adds a little more focus to your pieced blocks. Either way, I’m sure that your quilting will make this into something truly special.
I love these blocks. Good call on moving the white to the top of the blocks. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
