Lets get Wonky

This Saturday id National Quilting Day and I will be manning the Habitat for Humanity table for the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum. We make wall hangings with a house theme to give to each family when they move into their new house. I was put in charge of wonky houses...I have never made a wonky house.

A member of my guild, Kris Jarchow of Sew Sunshine made a really fun wonky house quilt and I thought..I can do that! HAHA

I tried with prints...huge fail. Then I tried with solids. Much better results. This is South Beach since I made it with soft pastels, it reminded me of Miami.

Then I did one with very limited palette and some prints and am fairly happy with it.

I will be sewing on site during the event, and had started a couple of small houses with print doors and a contrasting roof and added them to another house I wasn't super pleased with but paired with the smaller houses it worked well. Of course it needs quilted, but that comes later.

So, all in all I am pretty comfortable now with making wonky houses. Just had to find my way to make them.
