Many projects are in my head right now. In fact, I feel a bit like a "quilting machine" or something. (Ha! I crack myself up!) Yesterday, wonkiness was the word for the day apparently, and I didn't get the message until too late! Here are my fans...they are coming along and I just love the "look". But, don't look too closely as you will see some wonkiness in the curves....
Oh, well.
I signed up to make a small quilt to donate to my quilt guild to be auctioned off this fall at a money-raiser. Using a block that I had made earlier this summer to practice my paper-piecing skills, I played around with border options, finally landing on this wonky blunt-nose design....
and sewing them all together to the desired length. After trimming, I have a cute wonky border for my little quilt. Stay tuned for the final result....(I may have a hard time parting with it!)
This wonky little critter really gave me fits...(it was supposed to come out square!!!#%&) Eventually, we came to an understanding. Come back tomorrow to find out how it was tamed....
It's a great story!
I love the way that black crosshatch looks with those reds.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the fans! I love the wonkiness of the border. And the last little critter made me pull my hair out.
ReplyDeleteI love the look too. I have used a sawtooth border on several quilts and love it. I love your red prints.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I am looking forward to that story!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great! There's no such thing as perfect so oh well if there are some wonky bits along the way.
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky border. I have that book and I need to pull it out and read that tutorial again because your wonky looks great!
