    Default Wonkiest of the Wonky

    We bought a house in 1994 and this quilt was in the attic under the blown insulation. It is the wonkiest of the wonky. I debated on throwing it out or giving it away. I really love Angela Walter's Paisley Feathers, so I decided to use this as my free motion practice piece. I used an old bedsheet for the backing. The first pic is of my first paisley feather, the next pic is my last paisley feather. Quite an improvement.

    The quilt may have been wonky, but you have turned it into a beautiful piece with your quilting. Your improvements are stunning. Brenda

    Saved by the bell. Aren’t you glad you did not throw it out? Turned out great and you got to practice free motion.
