Monkey Wrench Top
45 x 60
For the last year or so I've been using a couple of boxes of HST parts and triangles as leader/enders. I came across some old sets of 3.5 inch unfinished HSTs - florals with yellow. I think they were old pieces left over from making Florabunda (started 2011 and finished 2017).
So I decided to turn those sets of four identical HSTs into Monkey Wrench blocks that finish at 7.5 inches. I tried to add some fun to those florals keeping in mind the blocks would probably go into making a quilt for a child.
Then I made more blocks that were colorful but not all flowery but nice and bright and fun.
And then I made a top for the TBQL (to be quilted later) pile.
I think I should use yellow as a background more often.
And sew on...
The yellow is just wonderful! It makes the quilt so cheerful and happy!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely top! Yellow is beautiful as background, bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteYellow works beautifully as the background colour. Great flimsy finish. Do you still have more Monkey Wrench blocks to use up?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt top! Yellow is one of my favorite background colors.
ReplyDeletelove the bright colors
ReplyDeleteI love yellow as a background especially when they are all varied as you have done. The quilt looks wonderful, sunny, and positive- not weak or wimpy. Congratulations on another great top.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the yellow. I used not to like it that much, but more and more find it's just what I want most. Yours makes the perfect background for the mix of colours in your blocks.
ReplyDeleteI like your yellow background, too! That would be a good one to remember!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! That yellow background is a true winner!
