SANTA'S ALL WONKED OUT! from Kwilty Pleasures

I certainly wanted to work on a Santa Wonky Log Cabin quilt

for Christmas 2025…didn’t happen!

I want to include it in my

‘Let's Get Wonky’ Lecture - trunk show.

It begins with a pile of fun Christmas fabric strips.

And a Santa fabric I fussy cut for the centers of these

WONKY Log Cabin Blocks.

It’s the same technique of making a traditional Log Cabin

but wonky means uneven sides, uneven strips.

The center block - at least 5 sides.

Building around it, clockwise, with strips.

Santa was the center of the log cabin block,

the black ...

HALLOWEEN TWIST! from Kwilty Pleasures

Who remembers the TWISTER RULERS?

I came across mine and thought…

This was wonky before wonky was cool!

Lemme make another to add to my

‘Let’s Get Wonky’ trunk show!

The 10” TWISTER was perfect for using a Layer Cake.

Halloween Holiday Essentials

By Stacy Lest Hsu!

Notice the ruler lines.

36, 10” squares on the design wall.

Sew em up!

Then a 6” border was needed to frame the squares

Lay the ruler on the intersections lining up tbe ruler lines.

Cut the leftover pieces into usable ...

CHURNING OUT SOME WONKY! from Kwilty Pleasures

I have a trunk show available for groups, guilds called

"Let's Get WONKY"

The idea is to take a traditional quilt block

and make it wonky.

That's the idea here and I used

Missouri Star, Freestyle Churn dash tutorial

I had a Layer Cake and needed to give

this a try.

I love the result!

The backing uses same concept, my design, on a larger scale.

I gave it to Kim Hensley of

Happily Every Quilting.

We decided on the E2E Design WHITESPACE!

It's just perfect for this one.

Take a closer peek at it.

Here's ...

CROSS CUTTING A QUILT from Kwilty Pleasures

As usual I'm catching up with all my blog posts.

I still blog after 12 years, because its my personal journey.

Today I'm sharing a fun post about an inspiration I saw on Pinterest.

It began with a PINTEREST pic, of course,

CROSSCUT. A word, a photo, that caught my eye

And it all felt a bit wonky!

Thanks to

A Quilter’s Table

I was inspired to give it a try!

So to begin…blocks are made the same

BUT

For two different designs,

A traditional and a more modern

Or wonky design.

The layouts were the ...

WONKY CHURN DASH from Kwilty Pleasures

I have wanted to make a wonky churn dash block

quilt for a very long time.

I had an Autumn Woods Layer Cake

from Kate and Birdie.

I wanted something fall-ish for my great room.

Sew I snooped around the internet and found a

Freestyle Churn Dash tutorial by

Missouri Star.

Seemed like a good idea.

No need to reinvent the wheel

if the car is already moving!

Just google Freestyle Churn Dash, Missouri Star

to find the tutorial.

I also found a pattern, but I preferred the tutorial.

YOU DON"T NEED an entire LC to make the

NEVER TOO EARLY FOR CHRISMAS TREES! from Kwilty Pleasures

I luv me some wonky trees.

A Crazy Christmas Tree pattern was gifted

to me by a friend. I borrowed the Creative Grids

Spider Web Ruler from another friend

sew I could make this fun project.

During the summer I was busy working

on my trees for an upcoming guild presentation.

My Lets' Get Wonky presentation is sew fun.

I show traditional blocks and then how I

WoNKY them up!

The table runner was quick and easy to make.

I did some simple straight line quilting.

And love how it turned out.
