Description:

You will create three wonky house blocks and send one to three different partners. The size is 9.5" x 9.5" unfinished. No need to be precise in your piecing, but make sure your block measures 9.5" x 9.5" when you're done. Add strips of background if you have to. Utilize your scraps, get funny with novelty prints, or go buy something you've been drooling over. Colors and background selection are your decision. Feel free to add embellishments like embroidery, buttons, beads, etc.

I'd like to host a few of these wonky house block swaps and maybe you can put your blocks together for a fun neighborhood wall hanging or lap quilt.

The swap is open to all levels of quilters. If you have flaked on other swaps, I'll go ahead and remove you before the fun begins. Please don't join if you're pressed for time or can't make the deadline. There's always next time! You can play with us then!

I have a quick question..the two links are for two different kind of wonky houses..we can do either?

To my partners: red, white and black fabrics, if you could. Thanks!

Anything goes, tangledthreads. The links are just for inspiration. Let your creativity go wild! Thanks for the direct links, I haven't figured out how to do that yet!

I just designed my Wonky House in "paint" on my computer to print out and follow. I love it, it's my house! This is so exciting.....

This is my first time participating in this swap. Will be sent the names of our 3 partners, or do we randomly choose from the participants? Hoping to get started today;-)

Sorry for the delay. Partners have been assigned. Let the fun begin!

Does any one else start humming 'take me to funkytown' when they read wonky town above? I want a wonky town quilt... How fun would that be!!

I had to go buy fabrics for my funky houses today..well, didn't have to but it was a fabulous excuse to hit the LQS!!
