After finishing the first 100 Tula blocks, I tried out various layouts using EQ8. There are, of course, multiple layout options in the book, but I wanted MANY options. Also, I wanted a queen sized quilt for the bed in our new house, which will be finished some time.
I searched the internet and found a number of ideas. Here are the options I drew in EQ8, obviously with EQ’s standard blocks instead of my Tula blocks. It’s so easy to audition various layouts with EQ that I just played for a while.
And here is a start on the layout I selected.
I love this layout, but it’s turning out to be a bear to piece!
I decided to assemble the quilt top in 4 quadrants then join them to avoid those loooong rows that would have to be assembled if I did the whole thing a row at a time.
Here’s a start on the first quadrant, shown on the makeshift design wall:
It will be done some time, maybe before the house is done and maybe not! A race, perhaps?
Zippy Quilts 
If you can just bear with it (!) I think this is going to be a real winner! I especially like your choice in the gray/black combo for sashing, etc.
That’s a great setting to bring order to a sampler set of blocks. Good choice.
And this made me laugh: “which will be finished some time” about your new home. Yeah. That’s likely as precise as you can get right now!
Oh yes, everything is topsy-turvy waiting on the house. Thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂
Oh wow! Look at all those settings! I have the book on e-book of the 100 Tula blocks and I did not realize there were so many setting options. I actually have a box of scrap fabrics that are coordinated to make this quilt someday! Looking forward to seeing yours – and great layout!
Thanks 🙂. The Tula blocks are fun and mostly easy
This is certainly a piecing challenge. I take my hat off to you!
I will finish this quilt and then try to avoid pieced sashing in future!
