City Tiles Quilt Along – Week Five

Welcome to week five of the City Tiles Quilt Along!

It’s week five out of eight this week for the City tiles quilt along!  We are cruising right along   If you feel like you are falling behind a bit, don’t you worry!  Next week is actually a catch up week so set aside some time over the next week or two and get those blocks done.

Going through the hashtag every morning has become my new ritual.  I love seeing the progress you guys are making on this quilt.  And I’m loving all the beautiful and unique versions out there.

Take some time to go through the hashtag when you get a chance and see what everyone else is up to! I love how active this hashtag is staying

Be sure to browse through the quilt along posts!

Here we go on Week five….

My progress on the City Tiles Quilt Along

My City Tiles Quilt:
Large Block Version

Center tiles: I’m using mostly Cotton and Steel Bluebird fabrics.
Outlines: All the same in the navy Cotton and Steel Sprinkles
Accent squares: All the same in this SS bluebird fabric
Background: Essex Yarn Dyed Linen in Flax

I’m up to 10 blocks as of right now.  So that means I’ll be making two more during the week.  I’ve saved the directional fabrics for last

Blocks 7 & 8! I’m excited to be half way! In answering this weeks question, I don’t really have a bucket list. I would really love to one day see the Aurora Borealis and take my kids to Disneyland! #citytilesqal #citytilesquilt

This week’s blocks in the #citytilesqal hosted by @emily_dennis_ 9-18” blocks complete. This week we were prompted to tell something on our bucket list. I strive to live a life of contentment come what may and every day is a gift. One day I hope to open a successful Etsy shop where I sell quilts I’ve made and earn enough to allow some of those extra things in life. Time with my family tops that bucket list.

Week 3 of my #citytilesqal blocks. I was trying to think of what is on my bucket list to accomplish. I have been wanting to start doing some of my own straight line quilting instead of sending everything out to a long arm quilter. I watch tutorials and read everything I can find and am hopefully slowly getting up the courage to try
