City Sampler report February

At January check in I was at 48 blocks and hadn't decided at that time how many I was really going to complete because I was looking at alternate layouts from my original plan of 70. I kinda cheated on getting blocks made this month and actually made them on Wednesday evening, but I am happy to report that I have completed 61 blocks so far and really am ready to push through the rest so that I can get this project assembled soon.

Here are the blocks that I added this month 

block 49 -- # 6
 block 50 -- # 29 (when a great scrap just needs a frame you modify the block)
block 51 -- # 37 (couldn't bear to cut this perfect image in half)
block 52 -- # 38
block 53 -- # 55
block 54 -- # 56
block 55 -- # 83
block 56 -- # 86 (might be my new favorite)
block 57 -- # 95
block 58 -- # 96 (my prized Henna Garden scrap was a little small and then my math was a little off so I added this other boarder to the block and really like the difference that made)
block 59 -- # 98 (hello Mr Turtle face)
block 60 -- # 97 (this green is one of my favorite Tula fabrics that I have never been able to get anything larger than a scrap -- I also love it in yellow and the purple red combo) 
block 61 -- # 90

Things are getting exciting around here as I now have only 9 more blocks to make to get to the goal of 70. I spent some time last night pulling the rest of the fabric combinations for these blocks and hope to knock them out within the rest of this month. 

I can't wait to start putting these together and hopefully in March you guys will get to see that in the works -- mostly because I'm not brave enough to say top assembled fully.

  2. I'll second my sister Michele's comment. I haven't started mine yet because I'm a bit overwhelmed with fabric selection but your posts are helping a lot.
