Monkey Wrench Quilt Top #2

Monkey Wrench Top #2
Pinks on Point
43 x 43



7.5 inch Monkey Wrench blocks

For the last couple of years one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects has been Monkey Wrench block in three different sizes - 5 inch, 7.5 inch and 10 inch.  It's always fun to make blocks from scraps until I have a big pile of them. Then it's always fun to see how many donation/comfort quilts I can make from those piles. 


For this top I pulled out all the pink blocks and then had to make about 5 more Monkey Wrench blocks in pink.  I did sew the blocks together randomly but tried to keep the darker ones in the middle.

The side setting triangles are a light pink polka dot. I had just enough with a few scraps to spare.

On Point makes the wrenches super fancy!!!!!! Great setting fabric.

I love that you kept the darker ones in the middle. It makes the blocks disappear around the edge, like in a dream or something. Lovely! ;^)

Lovely arrangement of the pink Monkey Wrench blocks. Setting them on point was a great idea. A very pretty flimsy!

Great block placement. I love how you grouped the darker, more vibrant pinks in the center. Gives the quilt a soft, misty feel.

That's so fun! It's amazing how the look of the block changes when you set it on point!
