Lexie & Miss Tula's 100 blocks

Lexie did it - she pieced all 100 blocks from Tula Pink's book, "Tula Pink's City Sampler".

It's so pretty...she used Tula's fabrics.

I need to make one.

 

 

I wanted to quilt each block with as much straight line

quilting as I could.

 

 

In the background sashing I quilted a wood grain design.

 

 

The blocks are so simple which allows you to add some really fun fabrics in them.

 

 

It was such fun to quilt!

 

 

Lexie used one of my favorite Tula Pink extra wide backings - "Free Fall".

 

 

Here's another quilt Lexie pieced.

It's "Stars & Stripes" by Thimble Blossoms.

You can purchase it here.

 

 

You all know how I feel about anything patriotic...

This is such a great quilt!

I quilted straight vertical lines in the blue fields, wavy horizontal lines in the stripes and swirled

that darling background.

 

 

Her backing is perfect - it's another extra wide back.

 

 

Lexie is always working on quilts I want to make, too.

Thanks for the inspiration!

barns...

Heather, from California, sent me her barn quilt.  These barn blocks seem to be popping up all over the place!  I've quilted quite a few and I think they are so darn cute.  Each one is very personal.  Heather did an amazing job on hers - here are some of them...

I love the barn door fabric she used on the door:

 

It was fun creating the shingles on the roofs:

 

I tried to quilt each door different:

I quilted a wood grain design in her wood grain sashing & border areas:

 

 

Nine barns in all - super cute!

 

Heather also sent a single churn dash block to be used for a pillow.  I had quilted a bed quilt made from these blocks a while ago - so pretty.  Little feather quilting.

 

 

 

Thank you, Heather, for letting me quilt on your beauties!
