Modern Blocks Quilt Along - Three Wishes
Today's Modern Block is Three Wishes by Jamie Moilanen.
I really like this block,
but it taught me an important lesson about "wonky" quilting. I like the
look of wonky and I like the freedom it gives to design your own
blocks, but following someone else's pattern for a wonky quilt is just
as - if not more - difficult than following a traditional pattern. I
really struggled with the angles and cutting pieces big enough for the
space, much like I do with paper piecing.

I like that one alot but you're right that it would be much easier to use it for inspiration than to follow it exactly.
ReplyDeleteHello! May I ask a question? I'm working through this block, and I came across something strange. It wants the corner square to be 2" x 2" and the big star width is 2.5" - what the heck? Thanks.
