Create a sampler quilt as unique as you are! Tula Pink gives you an inspiring quilt block collection with Tula Pink's City Sampler. Make a beautiful, modern quilt of your own design with the 100 original quilt blocks or try one of the 5 city-themed sampler quilts designed by Tula. A note from Tula: "You will notice...that the blocks are not named but simply numbered. This is intentional. I may have designed the blocks and given you the instructions on what to cut and where to stitch, but I have not infused the blocks with any meaning. This is your quilt. The fabrics that you choose, the colors that you use and why you are making it are what will give the quilt a purpose. Name your blocks, write in the margins, cross out the ones that you don't like, draw hearts around the ones that you love. In a perfect world, everyone's book would end up looking like a journal, coffee stains and all. The more adventurous ones might rename the book and write their own introduction. Tula Pink's City Sampler is a collaboration between you and me. I am the platform and you are the speaker, so stand on my shoulders and tell the future who you are and why you make."

Together we will make nine original blocks, using my favourite piecing techniques, to create a quilt that explores the imagery of autumn: the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter; turning leaves and misty mornings; festivals of fire and fairytales at bedtime...Autumn, the burnished sunset of the year, washes the garden with shades of copper and gold. Nights draw in, mist rises, the winter approaches. Larders are stocked for the dark months ahead and favourite books taken down to read by the fireside. At home in Shropshire we celebrate with a Bonfire Party and, as we head back to the house with our friends, I imagine all the nocturnal residents of our garden gathered around the embers of the fire...
