DESIGN WALL MONDAY

Now that my community quilt projects are completed, waiting for the next workshop, I finally pulled out the stack of "one block wonder" blocks that were waiting.  I cut and stitched the half blocks while South last winter, but I don't have a big enough design wall to play with the layout.

I spent a couple of hours, arranging and re-arranging the blocks until I was happy with my choice, and yesterday I began stitching them into vertical rows.  Of course, DH took one look at the blocks and asked for his sunglasses!  I love bright, funky "what were they thinking of" prints for stack n whack blocks!


I managed to stitch a few of the rows before we headed out for dinner with friends and a concert in the park.  I began stitching on the darker side of the quilt....

Making stack n whack style quilts always puts a smile on my face.  Now back to stitching!

Check out all the creativity shared at Judy's blog, Patchwork Times , and  Monday Makings at Love Laugh Quilt.

    I like it! The fabric really makes the quilt top.

    I love your fabric! It is fantastic for stack n whack. The effect is like a modern stain glass window with the sun shining thru. Clever of you to see the potential in this fabric.

    What a happy quilt! I can see it making a child's day -- or an adult's, for that matter! :D

    Those brightly colored blocks do look fun! Husbands have no veto power in the sewing room! ;-)

    What a great fabric you chose! I've made 7 of these and taught the class over 40 times and never tire of it!

    Very bright and fun! Love your color gradation from yellow to the blues and teals.

    I don't actually like the original fabric, but what you have done with it is brilliant. You have proved that there is no ugly fabric!!
