Before I started this last round I pulled the completed blocks out of the book and organized them by color to see how the color distribution of my randomness was working out.
I was not too surprised to see the largest pile had mostly purple and aqua elements.
First, finishing off the triangle sections (cause for celebration!) are blocks #44 through 55:
Really, Tula, 30 pieces in a 6.5" block?!
Escaping into the stripes section, here are blocks #56 through 60:
Oh look, Fox Field has made it into the blocks!
This is what 60 blocks look like:
As you can see from the picture above I have a respectable collection of Tula Pink fabrics. Last night we were in beautiful Portsmouth, NH killing time before meeting our son and daughter-in-law for dinner and, well, we just had to stop at the Portsmouth Fabric Company. I had been there once before but it was in my naive, innocent quilting days when I was shopping for a sewing machine. But now I walk the aisles of this little, packed, charming store and all I see is beautiful designer fabric that I want to take home with me! The fabric is well organized, mostly by designer. I am glad I am not hooked on Kaffee Fassett fabric as the selection was amazing. AND (you know where this is going...) the Tula Pink fabric was extensive! I even found a few that I did not have!
I can't wait to play with the leftovers from this project!
Happy Wednesday! Linking up with Lorna's Let's Bee Social and Lee's WIP Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteYour randomness is working out...b e a u t i f u l l y!!! Your counters remind me of my house in Arizona...kinda random I know...LOL!!! Anyhooo....love the progress of your Tula Pinks! (Oh love the rabbit with the big pink dot fabric especially!) SMILES! V:)
ReplyDeleteyour blocks are great! I love shopping at PFC, they have a fabulous selection of Tula Pink :)
ReplyDeleteQuite amazing quilt! Hope to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on working through those blocks :). That quilt shop is one of my FAVORITE! Just love it there.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Kathy! Just gorgeous! Love your blocks... Sew precisely pieced. And that shot of the book had me chuckling. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh your blocks are just gorgeous! Good idea to group them by colour. Thanks for the tip
ReplyDeleteYou have done a wonderful job making the blocks. They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress! I am through 40- and NOT loving the triangles already :-( I'm inspired to see that you made it through!
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks! I am so inspired to push through the triangles (I'm just thru #40 this week) after seeing how wonderful yours look!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of pieces for a 6.5 inch block. Your blocks are coming out so nicely. Tula Pink's fabrics are starting to grow on me, and I don't need to want any more fabric! :) Those last three that you just picked up are quite nice.
ReplyDeletewow- you are really humming along! Simply gorgeous- can't wait to see this all come together.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous!! Congrats on finishing with the triangles :-) (why, oh why, wasn't that book printed with a huge spiral binding?!)
