Jen says:  I had a lot of fun making these 100 blocks.  I’m dying to put them together but need to be patient while I wait for my bolt of Black Batik to arrive!!  My Milwaukee Block I flipped because my focus fabric had a flaw in it.  Putting the seam on the right assured that I covered that flaw instead of forgetting about it later.

Block of the day: #98
Section: Haiku
Featured Quilter:  Lisa
Lisa says:  I named this block Tula Tipless.   I can’t think of another thing to say! Well maybe press your seams in opposite direction where they will meet to help aid in getting the corners to match. It’s just about time to put it together!

Jen says:  Another fun block for my Milwaukee Quilt!!

Patched Works 100 Blocks of Summer – Block 94

Block of the day: #94
Section: Haiku
Featured Quilter:  Susie
Susie says: One thing I love about using Kaffe Fassett's fabric is that with a half I a yead you have so many choices of patterns and color. It makes these simple blocks very interesting.

Jen says:  I liked this block so much I made it twice!  I made another for my Milwaukee Quilt.

Patched Works 100 Blocks of Summer – Block 93

Block of the day: #93
Section: Haiku
Featured Quilter:  Lisa
Lisa says:  I named my block Tula Tricky. This is a fun block to select fabric for and to sew. The tricky part is staying organized. Those pieces that go around the center square look pretty close to the same size. It helped to lay the pieces out the way they will be in the square.

Mary says:  Only a few more chances to get the cute mannequins in the blocks!

Patched Works 100 Blocks of Summer

Celebrate Labor Day and head into fall.  It’s a good thing we only have a few blocks left!!

Just a few reminders:

When cutting your fabric for your Quilt Top Setting, please cut your borders larger than what is specified.  This pattern has you cutting everything at once but it is imperative to measure and cut for YOUR finished sizes before attaching your borders and long sashing strips.

If you’re making blocks through our 100 Blocks of Summer Program in person at Patched Works you need to have 20 blocks finished and signed off on by September 15th to receive the Patched Works collector pin.

If you’ve finished making all 100 blocks through our 100 Blocks of Summer Program in person at Patched Works you need to have them signed off on by September 15th to receive the Patched Works T-shirt & Quilt Label at the Awards Ceremony on October 2nd at 6:30PM.

Mickey has a great tip for block organization:

Use 12" squares of vinyl backed tablecloth for block design boards.  Cut blocks and position them on the boards. Stack the boards in your travel box until you are ready to sew.  Block pieces are laid out and ready to go.  It’s a step above cutting and putting in baggies.

   

Nancy G drew up this fantastic layout with Graph Paper and Colored Pencils.  Don’t be afraid to draw up your own design instead of just going with what the book suggests.

Patched Works 100 Blocks of Summer – Block 90

Block of the day: #90

Section: Haiku

Featured Quilter:  Mary

Mary says:  This block threw me a bit at first.  The tricky part (or what I found tricky!) is that the 2 top rectangles are pieced together in the middle; this 6-1/2” strip is then the last piece to be sewn onto the block.

Additional blocks made by:  Diane, Jen & Lisa

 

Jen says:  I assembled this block incorrectly and had to do some partial seams to get the job done.  Of course, had I just ripped what I first sewed I wouldn’t have had to make it more difficult!!

Patched Works 100 Blocks of Summer – Block 89

Block of the day: #89

Section: Haiku

Featured Quilter:  Susie

Susie says: This block is all about the fabric. It is Kaffe Fasset's Belle Epoch.  I paired it with some pretty Kaffe Shot Cottons.

 

Additional blocks made by:  Mary, Jen & Lisa

Jen says:  This was the LAST Tula Pink Block I assembled (since I did them out of order).  I finished it at 8:18pm on May 30th.  I named my block Cup Cake.  I wanted to add a small piece of Cup Cake fabric into the quilt as this will be a quilt for our bed.  When we adopted our dog Maddie from the Elm Brook Humane Society a few years back the name she came with was Cup Cake.  We’ve kept it around as a nick name so I wanted to add her into the quilt. 

Watch the placement of your strips.  The top strip is 1-1/2” and the bottom is 1”.  The physically block is pictured right, the drawing does not appear correct.
