Whimsical and Wonky Challenge Part 2 (Friday Foto Fun #64)
This month's Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that is Whimsical and Wonky. This is part 2 of my December challenge. You can read Part 1 here. The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik.
I settled on the last layout shown in Part 1 and used the web piecing method to sew the top together.
I started to use my walking foot to do concentric circles but realized that wasn't working for me today. I unpicked all of it and created a concentric square turned circle for some extra whimsy and wonky-ness!
I had an extra 6 blocks left over, so I added them to the backing for fun! I think blocks on the backs of quilts are so much fun!
This was a fun quilt to make and I really do like intentionally wonky!
Next month is the last month of this year's Island Batik Ambassadors and we are doing a blog hop all month long!
If you're interested in what the other Island Batik Ambassadors are making, you can check out their blogs. There are 45 ambassadors this year! Be sure to follow Island Batik on Facebook and Instagram to see the projects we all make too!

I love the blocks on the back! That’s actually probably my favorite part of this quilt. That blue on the back is beautiful.
Super cute quilt and back!!! I love your wonky concentric squares quilting!!!
Hi Sherry, that’s a lovely quilt and a great back. It sounds like you had a great time as an Island Batik Ambassador. All the best in 2019!
It looks fabulous quilted. I like the shift you made and think it worked well in the quilting. Always hard to take out stitches, but I think it was worth it.
That quilt turned out to be so pretty! I am making a drunkard’s path quilt too, using a very similar layout, but using standard blocks. it is an old UFO I am quilting. I love the colors on yours!
