My First Wonkie Scrap Block! Hoo! Hoo!
Well, as I have been blog-hopping over the past few weeks, I have been seeing my favorite bloggers such as Allie over at Strandz (I got the word wonkie from Allie but I spell it differently) and Sharon over at Vrooman's Quilts making these darling scrappy quilt blocks. Also, Jodi over at Pleasant Home has created a "Sew Scrap Along" to help us turn ALL our scraps into fun, fun quilts!!
I joined Jodi's "Sew Scrap Along" awhile back but it was looking at everyone's darling scrap quilts that got me motivated. I am not really sure how everyone else is actullay constructing their blocks, but since I love to paper-piece, I decided to make a template, a wonkie template, and just go for it!! Well, look at how cute my first 8" block turned out:

Hi Maxine - Thank you for your sweet comment!! If you see this comment, please email me as I can't get in touch with you. Are you a member of the Dixie Quilting Guild?
Very wise to go with what your know! Paper pieced to start you on your way was a good idea, then you can free-form. I love your wonky block in your seasonal bright fabrics - so, sew cute.
Very pretty! I love it!
I love your wonky block - especially the colors. I think I spy some Moda Twelve Days of Christmas in there! blessings, marlene
