15 "Haiku" Blocks

I finished the Haiku blocks chapter in Tula Pink's City Sampler: 100 Modern Blocks:



  Some I am not so crazy about, but hopefully it will all come together in the quilt.  With these blocks, I have 65 total.  I need 70 for the quilt I want to make, so that's only 5 to go. 

The two chapters I haven't done are the "triangle" and "crosses" chapters.  I feel a little weird about adding in random crosses - I suppose it's a religious thing; to me, crosses are symbol of my faith.  But I'm lazy, so I'm choosing this section over the trickier triangle one. 

If I had to pick a favorite haiku block, it might be block 96:

 
 
I love the framed picture blocks, and this is a fabric combo I haven't used a whole lot.   For someone who doesn't like orange, I've sure used a lot of it in all my blocks!  I do like this pinkish orange - almost coral - better than most shades of orange.
