I am making another baby quilt for a friend. I wanted it to be a little modern and to try something new. I wanted to go WONKY! I used a great tutorial and gave it a shot. I am not sure if I will love the finished product, but I am excited to try out my new machine on some fun machine quilting.
This is a wonky square. You start with right angles and then trim a side here and there at a slant. This is what all the squares look like.
My fear is that my friend and her family, who are not familiar with what is popular in the quilting world might think I just can't cut straight! So, I decided to try one traditional log cabin block to show that I can. I will use this blog as a bag to present the quilt in.

I LOVE it!! I love how modern the pattern is!
That's so fun! I like the colors and the pattern. But I'd be a little worried about looking like I can't cut straight too ;) .
I think it's very fun, and I think it's pretty popular too!
VERY cool! I'm actually about to try my very first quilting project, so this is a bit over my head but I'll be coming back to see what else you get up to!
That is going to be an adorable quilt!

I love the fact that it's wonky! Seriously cool! I can't wait to see the finished product!
It is neat!! Like the colors!!
What a great quilt! My only experience with quilting was a 9"x9" potholder. After that I gained a whole new respect for quilters. The animals are adorable, and the fabrics you used are just perfect! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
