Wonky Wedges Baby Quilt - Citified Blog Tour

Today is my turn on the Citified blog tour hosted by Sherry @ Powered by Quilting for her fourth signature line from Island Batik.

I used a technique I learned from a Melissa Marginet workshop -- Wonky Wedges -- to showcase these wonderful fabrics.  This baby quilt finishes about 37 inches.


This is great fabric collection of wonderful colours and prints.


I need to add the binding, which I hope to finish later today.  I am planning a matched binding.  I overestimated my ability to get up early this morning to finish. 😊


I am in a temporary apartment while my house undergoes repairs, so I have limited sewing supplies and have been sewing on my Singer Featherweight.  So I did big stitch hand quilting using Wonderfil perle cotton.  Here are close up photos of each of the four quadrants so you can see the fabrics and the quilting.









Stay tuned for more photos once I finish the binding.

*Giveaway Alert*
Leave a comment for a chance to win the leftover fabric from my project.  The giveaway will end at midnight, Monday, March 21, 2022.  If you are a non-reply commenter, I will have to re-draw for a new winner.




Although I am at the end of the blog tour, here is the schedule so you can check out all the projects:

    Anja you amaze me with all you continue to do in the quilting department despite working full-time, and being displaced from your own house!! This line is such a rich blend of colours ahhh love it, and this pattern--! It's the coolest! I've never seen anything like it, and I love how you quilted it.

    This is a cute quit. I like your hand quilting. The blocks remind me of a zipper. petuniakr@aol.com

    Your wonky wedges baby quilt looks fantastic with the big-stitch quilting! ... you don't need to add me to the give-away ... I have a package of Citified that I haven't used yet ...
    I totally admire you for continuing to quilt in your apartment with limited supplies!

    You chose such a pretty pattern to show off these fabrics! I love anything wonky and the wedge shape works perfectly for this. Hand-stitching is a technique I always admire, but really need to practice and put into action....yours makes the wedge shape stand out so well! duchick at gmail dot com

    That chunky quilting ... it's lovely! Maybe you wouldn't have hand-quilted if it weren't for your temporary sewing space. I count this as an unexpected silver lining to a crummy situation. Glad that you're still creating despite the circumstances!
