Cheerful Bright Wonky Quilts
Another cheerful make is Enchanted Forest. This quilt came about while I played in my sewing room on my birthday. I simply pulled out my bright happy scraps and a few navy backgrounds, turned on my favorite tunes and started sewing up trees and happy birds to nest in them. Between the merry music and playful improv I had a truly delightful day.
In addition to wonky birds and trees I find wonky stars delightful. Their sparkling points are perfect for your tiniest scraps. Playing with the angle and size of the points enables you to make those stars really shine. If you are new to wonky improv try my sparkle quilt. Whereas a more experienced quilt might enjoy Wishes. You can find both patterns here.
