I finished my wonky block wall hanging this past week. A fun project using left over fabric from the previous week's pleated quilt top craziness. I gave the pleated blocks quilt top to my charity group admitting to them it was likely to be one big headache to quilt. Go figure, they loved it and the group had all sorts of quilting ideas for it.
Quilting the wonky blocks with a straight line diaginal pattern every two inches seemed like the best way to handle it.I put a larger binding on it 3" rather than my usual 2.5".It was finished off with a hanging sleeve on the back. I think it will make a nice wall hanging next winter for our entry hall. I was happy to make good use of the fabrics I really liked so much in the pleated quilt.After turning in the pleated quilt project in to the group they handed me another charity group project. This pattern and all the fabric to make it in a bag ready to go.
I have had the project home since Wednesday afternoon so decided to start working on it right away. Fun project with fun fabrics. the white fabric does have a light gold yellow floral print in it. Hard to see here. Should have this ready to return to them by next month's meeting in April all finished and ready to go to a quilter.

Congratulation on your finish! Love the contrast between the wonkiness of the quilting and the very precise diagonal quilting.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's headache is someone else's challenge. So glad they were excited with the pleated quilt. The wonky block wall hanging tuned out beautifully. Enjoy working on your new project.
ReplyDeleteYour wonky blocks look great and remind me a little of a crazy quilt - sans the embroidery embellishments. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteGood job on that finished wall hanging! The new charity project is a very interesting block. Great fabric choices for it too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad they loved the pleated quilt! I did too, and your Wonky Blocks quilt. Those fabrics are very pretty and such a contrast to the bright sunny yellows you are working with now! It's like seeing winter turn to spring, with daffodils. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Your wonky block wall hanging turned out beautifully! I love how you used leftover fabric and turned it into something functional and fun. The larger binding and diagonal quilting are perfect choices—such a great design! Best of luck with the new charity project; it sounds like another fun challenge!

ReplyDeleteYour wall hanging looks very pretty, perfect to keep these lovely fabrics close to you. The new charity group project sounds fun, it looks like woven material. Nothing like the one you did with pink cowboy hats! Thank you for sharing, and linking up.
