Choose Your Own Block-Along, 10/6/14

Welcome to this week's edition of Choose Your Own Block-Along. I am having such a good time making the blocks from Tula Pink's City Sampler that I made four instead of two this week.

No. 11
No. 12
No. 13

I wish I would have cut the longer pieces where the green "wheels" were more dense
No. 14
Definitely my favorite this week
All four blocks playing together.
My "plan" is definitely coming together, all the way from very low-volume blocks to the ones with more color and less white.

Check out Rene' and Michelle to see their progress.

If you are playing along, link up here. It's been fun to see what everyone is working on--and the progress being made!

    These are all terrific Cindy! I think Block 12 is my favorite from her book.

    I can almost start to feel a little Christmassy seeing your blocks coming together.

    I'm enjoying following your blocks week by week, especially as I have the Tula Pink Book - one day I will get around to making blocks featured.

    Good for you to be so committed to this project! I've seen numerous Tula block projects, and they're all as varied as the quilters who make them. Yours are lovely.
