so, you may remember a while ago i posted about a collaboration quilt us wonky girls made for Melissa.
well... we were at it again for jessica...
and this is the finished product.
and the back.
i really loved putting this together for her with blocks from sara, jacey and melissa.
i asked them to make me scrappy improv blocks in no specific size and they did not disappoint.
if you click on the above picture and then squint a little you can see the binding. i was so excited to try out rachel's zig-zag binding... and it would have been awesome if i hadn't ran out of blue and then green thread...
still, i loved how it looked and will be doing it more.
i wish i would have taken pictures of all of the blocks before i pieced them together.

they were a miss mash of colors and sizes and it was awesome.
big ones small ones long ones short ones.
it was like putting a very pretty puzzle together.
and because i was so intent on finishing, i forgot to make a super sweet label like sara did for melissa's quilt so i whipped out my handy dandy fine tipped permanent marker and made a mark...
♥ the Wonky Girls - nicke, sara, jacey, and melissa.
i hope she and he love the crap out of it.
i love making collaboration quilts.
it warms my heart.
i am working on another now that is the epitome of collaboration!
i will share soon..

So sweet! I know they'll love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt - collaboration is great!
ReplyDeleteSo great to see it :) I'm sure it will be loved. I love how the crazy, colourful blocks and the negative space are in balance (unstable equilibrium comes to my mind, although I've never been good at physics ;))
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks and the solid colours. Would you tell me what the deep blue is?
Brilliant!!

ReplyDeleteit turned out so lovely! i really like the bright green background--not one i ever would have chosen myself but the results are fab. it just makes me realize i should get out of my comfort zone every once in awhile. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your next one. I know what is is!!! Glad you enjoyed the zigzag binding. It makes life easy every time.
ReplyDeleteI think wonky blocks are perfect for baby blankets! So many fun things to look at!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I need to go check out that zig-zag binding!
