100Days100Blocks Video

Here's a video I made of all 100 blocks from the #100Days100Blocks project. Just something fun seeing them all moving around set to music before I struggle to assemble them into a top.

 Here are the final ten blocks completed from the #100Days100Blocks project. Hard to believe I made it through all the way. Block 91 above is a fun combination where I got to highlight those pink deer. I'm so glad the deer I see in my yard every day are normal shades of brown.
Block 92, once I see a face in something, I can't un-see it. Pareidolia perhaps? Hmmm, that would be a good quilt title to use at some point.
 Block 92, one last angry elephant before I let you go. I don't really like the way the framing is split by the center fabric going through. It looks like a blocky letter D or a snorkeling elephant.

 Block 94, I liked having this big space to show almost all of the butterfly (or moth?)

 Block 95, I lied, here's some more angry elephant. I just love that fabric design, it's so beautiful and swoopy and then you look more closely and see what it really is.

 Block 96, had to get one more yellow deer in the quilt.

Block 97- This might be my favorite use of this crazy-mod black/white/color print.

 Block 98, I really liked this arrangement of rectangles/square, and another lotus-tiger.

Block 99

 Block 100!! So thrilled to have made it through this long project, thank you Gnome Angel for creating such an inspiring community. and I'm looking forward to participating in the #100BlocksFinished project, wherein we attempt to get our quilt tops completed by 1/25/17. Stay tuned for that.

If you want to do the 2017 #100Days100Blocks for this same project, it starts in May.

Here's the arrangement I'm likely to go with, but I'll likely tinker with it a bit more. I'm planning a grey sashing background that will separate the blocks.

Coming down to the last 10 blocks for this 100 block project, and I'm starting to play around with different arrangements. It's fun to have so much color to play with and figure out which colors I need to have a somewhat balanced composition in the end.

Coming into the finish of this project, I'm starting to look at color balance of the overall quilt. As in, is there too much of one color speaking too loudly? For the remainder of the blocks I'm piecing I'm going to try to work on using more of the colors I think I need.

 Love that lotus tiger.

 I want to try and make four of these blocks to set together to see how it looks.

 Almost matching fabrics sometimes work. Definitely helps that I'm using all prints from the same designer.

 This one's my favorite of this grouping. Those lotuses look kind of menacing, almost as much as the tigers.

The center was supposed to be the same print as the corners, but I wanted to fussy-cut something, I thought the pink rabbit reads close enough as the same.

Hard to believe I'm 3/4's of the way through this project, it really feels like the end is in sight now. The good news is that I'm still enjoying making these little 6.5" blocks from Tula Pink's City Sampler for the #100Days100Blocks project.

 These color combination with a tiger just says circus. But this tiger has escaped...

 Speediest snail around.

 Oh deer! Some of his antlers didn't fit.

Here's a group of the blocks I've gotten done for the #100Days100Blocks project since I last posted here about them.

 I wish I'd thought to pay attention to lining up the crossing lines a bit better, but it wasn't part of my plan as I made the block.

 First one I forgot to use one of my hand-dyes in, whoops!

 The eyes of the deer got lost in the seam allowance, but at least the angry elephant eyes are there.

The end is in sight for this project! (Well at least  the making of the blocks part!)

56/100 Blocks

I've kept up with making a daily block for the #100Days100Blocks project, and have passed the halfway mark.  Here's a catch-up post of all the blocks since I last posted. It's an absolute color riot up on the wall, and I love it.

 This is a very fussy looking block to me, and I'm bummed that the fabrics I picked don't show off all the piecing I had to do to make this one.

 I love how the variegation in my hand-dye works in this block.

 The only thing that matches is my blue hand-dye.

 That is one wild print isn't it?

 Happy with how the prints play together with the blue and purple.

 Kind of boring block, but I'm happy with how the blues match up.

 Too many teeny tiny triangles.

 I liked using three shades of purple in this one.

Because there's always more than one raccoon!
