After weeks of working on my guild's quilt show boutique items I am finally back to working on my own projects.
I finished a runner with the Tulip & Vine pattern, now just to hand sew the binding down.Last week I posted on my blog this finished scrap quilt top. I just did not like it at all. After a couple of days I took it off the design wall and cut the blocks into 2.5" squares and strips.
The results are this quilt top with all the rescued 2.5" pieces. Now I really like this one. I had this wonky blocks ruler stashed away in a drawer and decided to try it out and see what would happen. I am really happy with the results. I saw a pattern on line by Cotton Street Commons, but was reluctant to purchase yet another pattern. I have more patterns and books than anyone should have. So decided to give it a try on my own. Not really unhappy with the results, but decided to purchase the pattern after all. Going at it on my own looked more complicated than I figured, so waiting for the pattern to arrive and getting to work on it.

I love the new version of these blocks too! You have very pretty fabrics in there. Lovely tulips and plant, you did great making your own.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your projects and linking up.
Cool, I just saw the tulip blocks for FONF and now I see the finished runner. Looks great! Also love the "rescue" of the scrappy blocks. Those wonky log cabins turned out really good too and those soft fabric colors really sing now! I'm a sucker for a good quilt tool so will have to look that one up.
ReplyDeleteLots of fun projects in the works. Using the wonky border on those scrappy blocks really made a difference. Great way to transform a quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank wonky ruler did the trick. I love the result! Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteI feel your frustration,Ive unpicked & recut a quilt before 🤣 I luv the tulips!
ReplyDeleteNow that I have a rectangle table, I am so eager to make table runners vs. table toppers. Your Tulip and Vine pattern is so beautiful. I love the background with the yellow flower as well as your cheery fabrics! Your wonky ruler certainly helped create a beautiful block! Pretty pattern – tempted to purchase it myself!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely variety of projects! I like your version of the pattern. Thank you for joining To Do Tuesday and sharing the link! 😉
ReplyDeleteThe new version of the wonky log cabin quilt is so improved. I love it! Your Tulip and Vine mini is sweet. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Your improvisation made a much more interesting and lovely quilt top. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pastel wonky cabin blocks as well as your beautiful tulip runner! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to have too many patterns? Personally, when I purchase a pattern or quilting book or take an online class, I remind myself I am supporting someone's work. Rosemary and Thyme is the perfect quilt to work on as garden's come to life.
ReplyDeleteThe original quilt was OK, but the revised version is great! The pattern you ordered has lots of possibilities beyond the setting they show. A fun one to play with!
ReplyDeleteThat is a superb way to rescue blocks you don't like - it turned out amazing!
