wonky wishes finish

When Bonnie Hunter was doing quiltcams, she introduced this quilt, as she was working on it. I really liked it, and, started making a few blocks along with her in 2012. It languished in the ufo closet for awhile and then I managed to complete the top in 2017. Then it languished in the "to be quilted" closet until It had a turn as one of my 5 quilts project. I had an empty longarm for a moment, and, now, I have a wonky wishes finish.

It was fun to revisit it, and, all the scrappy fabrics, I used to make the top. The blocks are made of 2 1/2 inch squares. The stars use cast off triangles. The sashings are strings and crumbs.


80 x 93 = 23 yards

I pieced the backing of leftover pieces, I couldn't use on the front. I quilted free motion swirls, which is my favorite choice for my own quilts.

I used scrappy red strips for the binding

This is my 13th UFO finish for the year

    Sometimes a quilt just needs time to "ripen." Wonderful scrappiness!
