Maybe not very wonky, but they are wonky
That is not a weird camera angle that makes them look like that, I shot the photo from directly above.
After taking these photos though, I see that I have pretty much made them all the same shape, grrrrrrr. I need to do a bit of wonkiness to the left, they are all, except for the first one, smaller on the right hand side.
I followed this tutorial where Jacqui says Just a slight angle will multiply as the block grows. I have found that severe angles make this process much more difficult and don’t give that subtle wonky feeling that I like a block to have. Don’t feel that you need to trim everywhere. A little goes a long way.
Now I'm going to worry that they are not wonky enough.
If you haven't tried making one of these, I definitely think you should have a go as they are so easy and FUN. You didn't, and never will, hear me say that about the snowball blocks.
OK they're wonky but I think mine always look like that!!
ReplyDeleteIs this quilt for any special place? I really like the colours.

Hey I checked out the tutorial and that is right up my alley isn't it!! Yes I can now see that yours is wonky, its subtle and I really like it. Remind me that one day I am going to give this one a go!!

PD Billy just said to tell you that he looks at straight lines all day at work and yes those are definitely wonky.....see you just have to ask the professional :-)

ReplyDeleteThe colors are great, Marg! I can see the wonk happening but maybe you could get a little more jiggy...er, wonky...or jinky?
