City Sampler 100 Modern Quilt Blocks
A Book Review
The 100 Modern Quilt Blocks book by Tula Pink is a quilting game-changer.
Big call right? Let me tell you why.
This is not your traditional, stuffy quilting book that your Grandmother had collecting dust on her shelf.
100 Modern Quilt Blocks is bright, vibrant, youthful and absolutely bursting with creative possibilities.
A couple of facts about 100 Modern Quilt Blocks
- This book would benefit beginner quilters and advanced quilters alike.
- Instructions are clear and uncomplicated
- Layout is also uncomplicated with room for notes and sketches
- Tula encourages your creative freedom within a structured framework
- And my favorite: It is visually beautiful AND extremely useful
For who and Why?
This book is an absolute goldmine of knowledge and basic skills for even the newest sewist or quilter. But the range of shapes and design will have even the most experienced quilters salivating and cuddling up to their sewing machines whilst dreaming of endless quilting possibilities
Each of the 100 quilt blocks featured in this little jetpack of awesomeness is 6.5” unfinished and 6” finished. All the quilt blocks are the SAME SIZE.
Do you know what this means…? You can repeat one of the block designs, alternate two of your favourites, or make all 100 different designs and they will all be the SAME SIZE.
Mix and match the blocks to your hearts content without tedious quilt math!

Doesn’t she just look like someone you’d want to be friends with!?
Ms. Pink has literally given us all permission to design our own quilts. A quote from Tula herself:
“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”
Good Lord. If that doesn’t make you wanna wrap yourself in a quilt that you practically designed yourself, I don’t know what will!
Tula has the quilting purist covered too. If you prefer to have patterns and designs laid out for you, this gem of a book includes 5 complete quilt patterns.

I know we all work super hard for our money. And there is NO WAY i would suggest to anyone to part with their hard earned cash unless it was amazingly worth it and ridiculously useful. And fun. And pretty! Or if you’ve been wondering what to buy for a quilty friends birthday? Look. No. Further!
I really so hope you take the time to check out Tula’s book, and I hope you love it too.
