Tula Blocks 79 and 80 with PIZZAZ!

When I was making the block for Pat's birthday I was having so much fun with the technique of making the sections and making them smaller that I decided to see how small I could go by using them on my Tula 100 Modern blocks!

I love the tissue paper or mosaic look to the sections of hack and sew and I am amazed by the super tiny pieces that I could have never pieced in a BAZILLION years even with good eyes and nimble fingers.

The fabrics for the entire quilt are Bobbins and Bits by Pat Sloan for Moda.  Batiks and quilting cottons when mixed together create something so wonderful it makes me happy! I am using Aurifil 50wt 2600 ( a beautiful gray) for the piecing.  The thin and strong 50wt works brilliantly with all of the seams.  I can see where it could be an issue with anything thicker. YAAY for the perfect thin thread!

Hope you are keeping up better than I am with the blocks. Hoping I can somehow catch up with the other blocks this weekend.  With my sister coming for Thanksgiving, I am very doubtful ;)

Block update!

After a week of the in house engineer doing his IT magic, the computer seems to be running. There was some information lost and I have not had the chance to see if any of it was mine but MOST importantly, MY PHOTOS...ALL 20,000+ of them were SAVED!!!!!!  Backing up is quickly becoming my second language!

I have been sewing up blocks for the 100 Modern Blocks. Here are my latest ones

I laid them out and here is what I have so far...

Hopefully the computer will play nice and I can share more updates this week!!!!
