WOYWW 10

Julia at Stamping Ground hosts What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday.  I've mostly been prepping for school to start, but I did get a bit done on my quilt project, and I won a pack of fat quarters from the local quilt shop!  I picked the neutrals pack because it goes perfectly with this quilt, and I've been keeping an eye out for several of those colors to use as setting triangles.


In the picture you can see my prize and a couple of 6" squares.  I like the pinwheel one a lot, and the unfinished one is a feat because I used what may be the World's Ugliest Fabric, or at least the one hardest to match.  What looks like a greyish rose-pink is actually a hideous shade of pink with a tracery of black squiggles all over it.  It doesn't go with anything but black.  I tried.

  2. Very fine--my little triangle tips sometimes give me fits, trying to make them be in just the right spot!
    Yours look wonderful.

    Happy woyww to you!

  3. Love quilting - have done some in the past. Can't remember why they are called fat quarters though? Have fun with the fabric! Happy WOYWW! ♥ Karen ♥ 79 x

  4. Thanks! They're called fat quarters because a regular quarter yard of fabric is long and skinny, being 9" x 44". With a fat quarter you cut a half yard (18"x44") and then cut that in half to make two squarish pieces, 18"x22", which is much more generally useful and easier to deal with.

  5. It's the law that there is always one fat quarter in a pack that is hideous!! It has always been the case with the ones that I've bought too!! But your patchwork is fab :-)

  8. Congrats on your fats win Jean...I've been dabbling a bit in quilting this week on a small scale and really enjoying it....all your tiny pieces scare me so my quick one worked well. I know too about wrong colours 25 years ago I did an all night quilt and made the top of a DB but it sits still unfinished weird colours I picked...one day maybe. Cheers RobynO#52

  12. I think the same rule applies to patterned paper, too -- there is always one ugly one in the line or one that is super hard to use.
