Spring Fury

Created for the Project Quilting Season 7 A Goose in the Monkey Wrench challenge.

I struggled with this challenge.  I started something, but wasn't happy.  I found excuses to not work on it.  And suddenly inspiration struck. A while ago Kim (yes, the Kim that runs Project Quilting and is also my daughter-in-law) gave me some Spoonflower fabrics she had designed by manipulating pictures of some of my quilts. She'd challenged my to make something from them, but I had not.  I decided now was the time.

These are the 2 quilts that were photographed to make the fabric.  Interestingly, both of them have been sold.

So I fussy cut each piece of an oversize monkey wrench block and used the scraps to make flying geese to go up the side.  It was a really quick project that is very unlike me.  I feel like I played it safe with the challenge by not transforming the ingredients.  But I do love my finished project and it is a great reminder of the 2 quilts I no longer have.

The pieces of my first start to this challenge have found a home in my orphan block drawer until the day inspiration strikes me again and they become part of something wonderful.
