WIP Wednesday - more #munchkinland


WIP #munchkinland

Even though I still haven't got all the fabric put away that I pulled to make this quilt top, I love it. LOVE it.

After sending Chelsa her Scrappy Sprouts, I knew I needed my own rainbow quilt with low volume background prints and an insane number of pretty squares in a spectrum.  I had many of the squares already cut (intended to become granny squares), but after seeing a gajillion granny square quilts, I didn't want to finish mine any more.  I wanted to do an Arkansas (or is it Alabama) cross-roads.

And here she is. I call her #munchkinland. Because it reminded me of Wizard of Oz.

Just needs another border I think. Got any ideas?
Right now I'm leaning towards rainbow patchwork, and then more low volume? Good???

(Free patterns for this quilt can be found here and here)

  14. fabulous quilt - I love the rainbow with the low volume with the black - perfect! I'm not sure that it needs a border, unless you want to make it larger?

  18. Fantastic Tracey... Though I secretly am breathing deeply to remain calm. I just finished cutting fabric for your Roundhouse quilt and now you're tempting me with another fabulous quilt. Must stay focused, must stay focused, must stay focused ;) no seriously, the setting is perfect!
