First, Friend Julie bought me the book as a gift. Second, the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild formed a small group to work on making the blocks in this book together. I decided that I would use the colors of winter here in the Bay Area to inspire me in the colors I would choose for this quilt. I also keep wanting to succeed in choosing colors of blue and green that are calming and have the effect of creating a calm feeling quilt.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46142\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46142\" style=\"width: 253px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_100239_wm1915032155723351792.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-46142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_100239_wm1915032155723351792-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"Finished: City Sampler- back\" width=\"253\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_100239_wm1915032155723351792-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_100239_wm1915032155723351792-768x910.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_100239_wm1915032155723351792-864x1024.jpg 864w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_100239_wm1915032155723351792-1200x1422.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 253px) 85vw, 253px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finished: City Sampler- back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/tale-of-two-cities-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">started it in 2014<\/a> with high hopes of having a fun joint experience with Julie. Of course, it was fun to work on the quilt with her at the same time, but the whole experience was not that great. The BAM group kind of petered out. I had problems with my seam allowance. Coupled with the small pieces in a lot of the blocks, many of the blocks came out the wrong sizes. I think of myself as a competent piecer, so this problem was extremely frustrating especially when I couldn&#8217;t diagnose the cause of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>I originally called this quilt Tale of Two Cities, because Julie was living in another city then, but the name didn&#8217;t stick so it is just City Sampler.<\/p>\n<p>_______<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blog Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>June 30, 2014 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/tale-cities-late-june-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tale of Two Cities &#8211; Late June 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>June 5, 2014 &#8211; Various &amp; Sundry #5 June 2014 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/various-sundry-5-june-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brief mention<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>June 4, 2014 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/tale-of-two-cities-early-june-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tale of Two Cities &#8211; Early June 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>May 5, 2014 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/tale-of-two-cities-blocks-finally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tale of Two Cities Blocks &#8211; Finally<\/a><\/li>\n<li>April 7, 2014 &#8211; Pretties (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/various-sundry-5-june-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brief mention<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>April 3, 2014 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/tale-of-two-cities-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tale of Two Cities Start<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials 100% cotton fabric 100% cotton thread Techniques Machine pieced Longarm quilted &nbsp; Details: Year: 2014-2019 Size: 70\u201dx71\u201d Fabric: Background: Remix by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman Quilted By: Colleen Granger &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u00a0 &nbsp; Details This is the product of the Tula Pink&#8217;s City Sampler: 100 Modern Quilt Blocks.
