Warning, will need your sunglasses! :)

Hi to all my fellow bloggers,

This afternoon, yes, today! 8 months after I first bought her (my lovely daughter) her fabric for her dorm room bed... I know she is almost done with Soph year, and yes, as we strolled around Urban Outfitters last Aug., I suggested,....ok I kind of snorted, "Oh Emily I can make you one of those quilts in no time....."  Yes, that is what I said 8 months ago...well finally got the borders on and off to the quilter it goes....
but I am warning all of you, please put on sunglasses because this one is definately BRIGHT!

So, the Wonky Log Cabin Quilt is done !!  I like the border but this block is by far my favorite, I used selvage in this one and it came out really cute!

Well, thank you all for following and check in with me and I wish you all a really Great weekend,

Hugs,

Mary :)

Hugs,

Mary

Changed my mind.....

Well, cannot find a background fab for these wonkies, so I went back to fabric store on another search.....this is what I picked.....I think it goes better....actually it looks "Bohemian" and that is he look she wants so..... and this will be the binding fabric:

Here is  a close up of the fabric that will be used to space blocks:  really pretty I think....would look cute on a chair I think?!?!? 

Oh well how are all of YOU doing???  Love to hear from you,

Hugs,

Mary

Wonkie's

Well, after staring at these two options for the background, I think I like this one better, what do you think???  Actually, they are three backgrounds that I would have to sew together as I don't have enough of just one....but she wanted Bohemian, so I guess it would work??  If you look closely you will see it is three different fabrics?

What do you think??
Thanks,
Hugs,
Mary

Wonky Blocks finally finished!!!!

Hello everyone!  Finally finished the Wonkies and am now auditioning setting fabric.....originally was brown, then tried hot pink, but i think I am going with the Blue/Torquoise color.  What do you think?????????????

I still have to square each block to 15", but just wanted to see what the background fabric I should use....

Also took a pic of the mess these blocks are in making - but fun!

Whoops got my foot in that one....this isn't the arrangement of the blocks either, they will by 4 blocks then row then 4 more, well you get the picture hopefully,

Happy Snowy Wed here in Chicagoland,

Hugs, Mary
