When I started to do the blocks from “Tula Pink’s 100 Modern Quilt Blocks“, I soon realized that I wanted to try it with three different types of fabric .  I wanted to do one with Tula’s fabric, one with regular quilting fabric, and one with batik. It was a grand idea that took me a very long time as I don’t have loads of time to quilt in between parenting a toddler and working a full time job. However, I really enjoyed picking the fabrics and making the different blocks. I’m a sucker for a sampler! I got about 3/4 done and realized that I need more red, orange, and yellow in the regular and batik fabrics. I definitely tend to buy loads of green and blue and shy away from those colors. After spending a summer focusing on expanding my fabric collection with all colors, I was finally finished with my blocks and ready to put them together and that’s when I hit a wall. I didn’t know what to do. If you do all 100 blocks you have a huge square quilt. I also didn’t like all my blocks, so should I ditch some?

In the end, this is what I decided.
