This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Funky


Materials

I used leftover materials from a batik quilt that I made for my son, and some extra fabric that I bought.

What was your inspiration?

I became very interested in the blocks that Amy Gibson taught on the Block of the Month class...I loved this pattern and as I said, had some leftover batiks from a quilt made for my son in Mar.-Apr. He was running in the Atacama Crossings 2012 race in Chile over 150 miles in the desert and wanted him to have something to remember his accomplishment with.

What are you most proud of?

It was one of the first times I did the quilting on my own machine, at least bigger than pillow size, and devised the design myself...not perfect but very attractive.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just begin, and use fabrics that you love!

For nalaha3, no I did not stack and slash the fabric...I wanted it to be all wonky and I really began just trying this pattern out. As I began to play with the batik fabrics, I saw that I could love this pattern this way. Thanks, by the way!

Wow! This looks fantastic! Think I'll have to add one of these to my list of "gonna make one" Did you stack and slash your background fabrics? Can't quite see if all the angles are the same.

I did answer you but put my answer in as a new comment from a stranger. Then answer is no, I did not stack and slash!

Funny...I began the Atacama Crossings quilt in Phx, AZ,, and bought some of my fabrics out there. We spent 2 weeks in a rental and I sewed in the bedroom area, machine on a desk, cutting tools on top of a small dresser, and ironing board at the window! The bed became my design wall! Loved it...

Your quilt is lovely. I didn't care for the block individually but in the quilt of all the wonky blocks, it's great.

I originally tried it just to 'try' it! Then as I saw several blocks go together, I expanded my purpose!

Sometimes the choice of colours (this is how we spell it in my country) can make a relatively easy block into a stunning quilt! Yours stands out.
