Julie's "Tula Pink" 100 block city sampler quilt

Julie - from Denver - created this stunning 100 block city sampler quilt.
 
 
It's designed by the amazing Tula Pink.
(you can purchase a signed copy of her book here - on her website.)

They are 6" blocks and by the time you set them with pretty sashing it end up being a king size quilt!
 
 
Julie did an absolutely beautiful job at picking out just the right fabrics and piecing.
Here we go with lots of photos, but it's worth it!
 
  
 
Julie's sashing and setting is so cool....perfect for these modern blocks.
 
 
This is Julie's backing - I love how the quilting shows in the solid areas of the pieced section.

I did a simple swirl in the background areas.
 
 
I loved quilting it - each block got it's very own treatment!
I own the book, "Tula Pink's City Sampler", so I used it for inspiration when quilting.
 
 
One day......I will bust out my Tula fabrics and start on this quilt, too.
 
 
So lovely, Julie. 
Thank you for asking me to quilt it.
