The blocks were sewn oversized and then trimmed to 6.5" by randomly placing the squaring ruler at various angles - creating the Wonky look. All the trimmings were saved and will be sewn into a free form border.
The designer suggests a setting design but I tweaked it a little. Instead of 6 across x 10 down, I did 8 x 8 since there were some extra blocks. The border is being sewn onto muslin to stabilize it.
I'm planning on doing a black inner border (not this wide) and then a black binding. I hope this quilt will make some youngster smile!!
Linking up with Judy's Design Wall Monday.
Happy Stitching,
Judy
Looking fabulous - love the border! And another forgotten UFO will find a home soon!
