I was able to get my Saturday in the City Tula Pink blocks done this weekend (for this month anyway). I really like some of them and some I'm not so crazy about. I even made one twice to try and get it "right". I am struggling a bit with my fabric choices. I'm not used to using the bright, bold, big prints. I am more used to small print fabrics. With these big prints I am finding that while two fabrics look great together on my cutting table, by the time I get them pieced into the block they may not look so great together anymore.
It will be interesting to see how these all look together sewn into a quilt.
The block on the left is the one I made twice. I first had the cross in the middle yellow, which didn't show up at all, so I changed it to pink which looks better. I do notice a mistake in this block though, in the picture that I didn't notice before. I may be making this block three times!
If anyone has any suggestions about piecing with big prints, PLEASE comment. I could use the help!
