This week has been pretty productive. My Christmas shopping is done, most of the Christmas decorations are up except for the tree. Just waiting for the pecan harvesting to be done, so I can clean up the house. We have had a pretty good rain and windy storm come through so what ever nuts are up in those two trees are down now and we are done with that mess.
Last week I happened onto a blog with a post showing a wonky block quilt and thought it might be a great way to finally rid myself of a bin full of scraps and bits and pieces of my William Morris fabric stash. Several of those fabrics had birds and other animals on them. Appliqué projects leave one with a lot of bits and pieces cut into the yardage. This was a great way to utilize them. These are the last 2 blocks to finish off this quilt. I do plan on some borders as well. These blocks will be 10" finished and with a 4 or 6 inch border will make a nice size quilt.We got our baklava baked earlier last week. It is a rather lengthy process but well worth the effort. Still have Pizzelles to do this week.

ReplyDeleteI like the wonky blocks as a way to use up scraps
ReplyDeleteCool looking blocks. I want a piece of that baklava!
ReplyDeleteWonky blocks are fun to make! And a great scrap buster. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteWhat charm fussy cut centers showcased by the William Morris fabric. The combination of a wonky or crazy block style with Morris fabric got me wondering. Sure enough by his design and that style of quilting were popular during the Victorian era. No wonder the two compliment each other so well.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on those scrap blocks. Do you make pizzelles with an iron or the electric version? I have mom's iron, but haven't made them for years.
