Through the Monkey Wrench

So excited for the off season challenges of Project Quilting.  This year is Focus Through the Prism for the off season using Cherrywood fabrics. 

The May challenge was the monkey wrench block.  Choosing one color, we were to create a 20" mini quilt using the monkey wrench (churn dash) block.  I had a little bit of a slow start, not knowing what color I wanted to use or how I wanted my little quilt to look, but once I started it just came together so quickly. 

I chose to use the violet for this challenge.  I started with a few tiny blocks that finished at 1.5" and went up from there.  The little blocks are framed out with the larger monkey wrench block.  I added a few flying geese for fun.

The quilting is swirls, to resemble the swirls on some of the background fabrics.

The quilting is only on the background fabrics, I wanted the violet to pop.

I think it fit well in my garden next to my flower ball.  Stands out in all the green.

Maggie was helping me take pictures in the yard so I wanted one with her.  She is not as small as she looks in this photo, haha.
