I had 2 sick guys on my hands over the holiday weekend. They are doing much better now and I appreciate everyone's thoughtful emails - it just puts a smile on my face thinking about it. And in the muck of my husband being instructed not to lift one finger over the weekend & my little man's fever episode - I was able to find some comfort in sewing. So much so, that I finished 15 (12.5 x 12.5) wonky blocks. The only problem is...is that I couldn't finish trimming my blocks until my ruler came in...and guess what??? My ruler came in today, along with some fabric for sashing. Here is a picture of 4 of my blocks...I love the wonky style - it fits me. I also think by doing this pattern my butt has toned up a bit, thanks to the way you have to assemble a wonky log cabin block: sew a strip, get up & press, then cut excess fabric...sit down to sew a strip, get up & press, then cut excess fabric and so on. It's was a vicious cycle but I loved every minute of it!
Those are wonderful!!!! I love wonky, it suits me too. I'm so glad both your guys are doing better!
ReplyDelete"Wonky" blocks are so liberating! And you got a good workout to go with it!
ReplyDeleteI like the way that they turned out.
Glad that you had a productive weekend!
Who says quilters don't work out? Your blocks are gorgeous. Glad your guys are on the mend a relief for "maman" I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWonky is the best, isn't it? Love the fabric too, so cheery! Is it Mary Englebreit fabric?
ReplyDeleteThese are just too stinkin' cute, Michelle! I love the wonky look -- and the fabric is perfect for it. And, killing 2 birds with 1 stone -- well, that's just icing on the cake!
