A while back I started this quilt. It's Wild Thing by Camille Roskelley of Simplify. 
I had to square down each and every block. For some reason seeing this pile of trimmings makes me feel like I've accomplished something!
I had picked out 4 charm square packets from the clearance bin for $2 each and I was itching to try it as I had bought the pattern quite some time ago.
Above are my blocks yesterday, below are my blocks today.
Since I'm working on projects I've been wanting to do for a while, I thought now was as good a time as any. I ended up with 52 blocks, I only need 42 so I guess I'll be putting some on the back or making a smaller baby blanket.
Hopefully I can get all these projects wrapped up by the end of August. Wish me luck and lots of devoted quilting time.
Good luck on Wild Thing - those blocks look very cute!
ReplyDeletediscovered your blog cause of your email to me! Enjoyed the whole thing, I read right back to the beginning!
ReplyDeleteDefinately a good idea to take the summer for your own projects -- I would get so tired of doing other peoples quilts!
the Wild thing or Whirly Gig is a very old block design and it looks great everytime it is made into a quilt.
Found your blog from another blog, from another blog, etc. Wild Thing was my very first quilt, and I love it! Can't wait to see it finished. I think my next quilt will be easier...probably the ORB quilt-a-thon quilt.
