If it’s Tuesday, it must be Tula-day 🙂 This week I’m on to Section 2 of the book, rectangles…
Did you work on any City Sampler Blocks this week? Join in the Tula Tuesday linkup at the bottom of the post so we can all admire your work!
From left to right, that’s block 16, 17, and 18…
Block 16 has Tula fabric from the Nightshade collection as well as purple and grey and polka dots. It’s a bit more subdued than some of my other color choices, but I like it!
(The color in the bottom photo is more true to life.)
Block 17 had teeny tiny pieces, and all of them were blue…
The deeper of the two blues has a faint texture, but the lighter is a solid.
Block #18 is more purple! Because I can never ever have enough purple… It has my focus fabric, that wonderful AMH Dowry print, as well as some Tula from the Birds and the Bees.
I’m really happy with this week’s batch. I like them all individually, and I feel like they are good additions to my overall color story. (On another note, that block #9 is still totally jumping out at me. What do you think?)
Speaking of Tula, I am so in love with her new Fox Field line. I want it all… Anyone else? I’m trying to resist blowing my currently barely existing fabric budget on it. Sigh. (ETA tonight I got an email from www.quilthome.com and all their in stock Tula fabrics are 20% off thru 3/21 with the code QHTPFF)
Okay, time to link up! Show off your Tula work from the last week…
Lovely blocks, I agree about #9, but you can easily use that reddish pink in more blocks, right?
I can- I just don’t know if I like it with all the other colors… We’ll see as I go forward…

great blocks! Now, that looks like it might have rabbits on it… off to investigate
a few of the new Tula fabrics have bunnies! I love them! Thanks for coming by!

PS tonight I got an email from http://www.quilthome.com and in stock Tula fabrics are 20% off thru Friday with this code: QHTPFF
Thank you, i’ll keep an eye out in 4-6 months when they arrive here. I’m afraid US shops are no good to me as the postage and customs charge makes then too expensive.

Oh, I should have realized from your email that you are in England! Duh! -Sam

Gorgeous work!
Thank you- and thank you for visiting! -Sam
Tula Pink! Just found your quilt along. Just can’t add another project to life right now. But I do adore her book! Nice blocks. Maybe use that red from #9 in other blocks and it will balance out.
The link up will be running all year, so if you do decide to try those blocks, feel free to jump in at any time 🙂 Thank you for visiting!

All the blocks are beautiful! I promise you that next week I will link up new blocks!!
I can’t wait to see more of yours! -Sam
I like the bright pink but it stands out because it is not repeated yet. And I like how it pulls the pink pop out of the Dowry fabric. Try using it again on like 23 or 24 (or maybe 19). Then see how you feel about it.
I do like the pink pop, I’m just worried that it is the wrong pink. I have a big pile of other pinks ready to try out as I move on 🙂 We shall see if I can make myself like this one… -Sam
