Lorax Quilt Was A Learning Experience

I'm not a big fan of "wonky" but that seemed perfect for Dr. Seuss, so I decided to do it. Why on earth can I "wonky" when I'm trying not to but keep getting square blocks when I'm trying to "wonk"? It was nearly comical.

I also decided to give a good go at FMQ because Seuss is always a little off. It's still far from perfect but much better. No thread breaking issues for once! Yeah!

Forgive me for the border. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now it is just LOUD!

Looks great and I think the border matches the colors in the block. A very cute quilt.

The border is perfect...lively and colorful like the blocks. It makes you smile out loud looking at your wonderful quilt.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I ended up with the panel in one of those deals where I needed $9 more on an order for free shipping. That sucks me in every time. I'd rather get a piece of fabric than pay for shipping.

WONKY is the perfect choice for Dr. Seuss! Cute!

I agree with MamaBear61. The border just makes it pop even more. Good job, someone is going to love it.
