emily's rad 100 days 100 blocks - tula pink city sampler

so in 2018, you got a regular update of my 100 day 100 block every 10 blocks, and then it just sat.
don't get me wrong, i super enjoyed this project and really wanted to get it done, but it just fell to the back burner as all projects for me personally do.
well, last summer i knocked it out at maker monday, quilted it up and got it bound and it has lived on my bed ever since.  now, here it is for your viewing (and ispy-ing) enjoyment!
as a reminder, i focused on three main fabric lines for my colors: foundations by sassafrass lane designs, grunge by basicgray and dimples by andover fabrics.  it all pretty much started from the foundations line of fabric that i got a fat quarter bundle of and then trickled down to balance it all out. i fussy cut the wazoo out of some fabrics, and there are some pretty hilarious instagram swiss cheese photos to prove it!
i had a hard time narrowing down photos, so you're about to get blasted with some detail shots of some very random themed blocks!
i did tweak the borders of this quilt, since i couldn't just let all the bright rainbow-ness of the inside just end with solid gray.  i measured out a bit more of the gray (which i believe is silver grunge) to be the same width as the sashing, and then measured out some chunks of the same main color fabrics to make a scrappy border around the outside.  since the border was so scrappy, i wanted to keep the binding solid, and went with my favorite blue print from the foundations line of fabric.  the back, not that you can see it, is a fantastic gray on gray polka dot fabric that i found as a wide back at meissner's
while this project was a lot of work, it was really fun to do as a sew along with a ton of people, including lisa.  it was funny to see how we used the same fabric in a few of our blocks, and how different they turned out from each other.  we both ended up with a rainbow-ish collection of blocks, and i cannot wait to see hers put together.  once hers is done, she intends it to be for her future guest room... aka what i get to use when i stay over!
it has been so great to have such a fun and cheerful quilt on my bed to snuggle up under each night.  i am quite pleased with my success with this quilt and already have plans to use a few of the blocks from this book for another project :)
