More "Done is Good" and Wonkiness

Let's consider making Wonky the new Black. 'kay?

Alrighty, wrapping up my Weekend of Mini Blocks.....First some Sylvia's Bridal Sampler blocks!


















A8 - I really liked this one. I approached it with fear and trepidation, paper pieced it and it worked pretty well for me. Yay!

















Blocks 1-8... this is really going to be a pretty quilt! I'm loving the bright colors against the black, even if it does mean I have to be really careful. If they were prints, little mistakes might get lost a bit - I feel like the solids are not very forgiving, but they're pretty!

And where would we be without a chicken towel? I stitched this out while sewing a block.





















Chicken with a Grasshopper!

Then, I moved on to A9. It looked fairly easy. Aha! I let my guard down, relaxed, and sewed it backwards.




















Mad face!

Here is A9, fixed but wonky in one portion. Too bad. :)

And again, a chicken towel:

















Chicken with a baby chick!

The end of Row 1 was in sight, so I jumped onto block A10. Yvette had warned me that this one was tricky AND (bless her!) provided me with a cheat sheet. Once I realized the cheat sheet involved half square triangles, I was home free. I printed off a sheet of paper to sew those puppies and trimmed them to "perfect" and then constructed the block. Easy Peasy!

















A10!! Row 1 is done. We're going to wait until August to do Row 2. I have five twin quilt tops to quilt for the Women's Crisis Centers so that will be the real goal for the rest of July. :)

And last but not least, tonight I tackled the three mini blocks that go with the Saturday Sampler from the Orange Quilt Bee. Again, wonkiness is everywhere, but I kinda like that navy/red one. (If I had about 25 yards of that fabric, (discontinued, from Kansas Troubles) I'd upholster my entire house with it. Even the toilet covers.

















That's all folks!
