I am new to the quilting world, so excuse this question. What I a wonky block? thought wonky meant your block or border were wavy. Cookie

I like the wonky but think I would add a few more blocks in pink and other bright colors. No matter what you do it is going to be stunning!

I was thinking something offset like this. It has a certain formality that goes with the blocks. Assuming blocks with small sashing on left and bottom = 12". Overall size about78 x 82. But it's your quilt. Love the blocks! [ATTACH=CONFIG]460577[/ATTACH]

I'm not a fan of wonky blocks usually but when you displayed the pictures I felt wonky setting was much more effective. I also agree hot pink might overwhelm. I'd go for a deeper jewel tone one like a deep teal or shiny burgundy.

Thanks, justfi..... I didn't tweak it much as I just wanted to give you a general idea.

The embroidery is beautiful.

I would like to see the emboidery emphasized because it is so pretty.
