City (of New Orleans) Sampler Quilt Top FINISHED!


I am thrilled to announce that my City Sampler Quilt top is FINISHED!  It's a King size quilt (104" by 104"), and made in a Mardi Gras color scheme (purple, gold and green).  I have all 100 blocks from Tula Pink's City Sampler Quilt book in there, and used her City Planner quilt pattern to finish it up.  Many of Tula Pink's fabric lines are in the quilt, and I tried to use at least 1 of her fabrics in each block. I liked it so much that I made a King sized quilt, even though we only have a queen sized bed LOL!
I'm hoping to get it quilted up before our local quilt show in May.  I've heard rumors that this may be our last year of the quilt show.  :-(.

I'm linking up to Sara at Sew Sweetness, who was the instigator of this quilt along. Be sure to see what others have finished up!

    looks splendid and yes you must put it in the quilt show, shame it might be the last, how I love the shows and seeing so many wonderful quilts. I have used 16 blocks to make a lap quilt but not sure what I will do with the others. Still to quilt the lap one but I am new to quilting so keep putting it off!

    I guess you are going to need a bigger bed!!! But I have a king if it needs a home!!! Get the mixer out... and make the cake... it will taste as good as the quilt looks.

    Oh it is fabulous and be it that I am from Louisiana, I approve! LOL This is actually the layout I plan to use for my 100 blocks as well (and I only have a queen sized bed too!) It really is fabulous!
