Wonky Donkey off the frame!
This is such a cute little quilt! The pattern layers 3 fabrics and you cut out "wonky" strips centered around a focal point. The donkeys are so cute in their rain boots.
"grown up" fabric for the backing. 2 layers of batting, Hobbs 80/20 and Hobbs Wool. Glide thread. Pattern for wonky-donkey-2
My quilt blocks turned out OK, I would have preferred to have more fabric and been a little more selective with my cuts. With a random cut square of fabric to begin with, it was difficult to get a fussy cut center. Or if you did get a nice cut for the center area it left the outer strips (8 of them) not so precise. I loved the pattern though and knowing what I know now... I want to play with this technique more. I'm so glad I ordered the pattern, I thought I could wing it and create something similar but the pattern made it so much faster and I would have never thought of creating the blocks the way she set them up!
