On point? Hmm.
Controlled selection? But I'd need at least 2 yards if I used just one fabric for the squares.
I asked a half-dozen other quilters who thought the inspiration photo was the best. Thank you all! I got to cutting and then to piecing.
As of 9:15 Thursday evening I had five columns with a stack of wrenches and squares to go.
And "go" is the important term right now because tomorrow morning we're going on our long-awaited Road Scholar trip to Alaska.
See you later!

another beauty nann...i agree with the majority...and alaska...wow, trip of a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to look great, Nann! Sounds like a special trip. Stay safe and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and memorable trip, Nann ! How exciting. Not taking the "Inside Passage" cruise from Vancouver?
ReplyDeleteAlaska is wonderful - enjoy. I like your current arrangement.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Alaska is almost beyond imagination in its beauty. Lived there for several years in the late 70s and early 80s. I think the straight setting for your new quilt will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip! We loved our visit to Alaska a few years ago! Your monkey wrenches and alternate squares are going to make a cozy and warm quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that is going to be a wonderful quilt, Nann! Have a fabulous and safe trip!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Alaska. It is on our bucket list too! Love the setting with the alternate squares. I'm a fan of Monkey Wrenches and plaids.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Very nice! I love homespun fabrics. ~~ Kathy S.
ReplyDeleteI just love all this wonderful plaid! Have fun in Alaska!
ReplyDeleteThe original quilt was by Regan at Floating on a Quilted Cloud, http://floatingonaquiltedcloud.blogspot.com/2013/03/just-3-days.html. I made one too, and Jo from Jo's Country Junction. There must be hundreds of these now. Yours is lovely and colourful. I usually find dull grey and blue shirts to cut up, would love some green ones. Enjoy your trip :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Alaska! I love the blocks and I love that original photo layout as well! Have a safe and happy trip Nann!
ReplyDeleteOh my .... churn dashes and plaids ..... OMG
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. I love the use of homespuns. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Nann, seeing your little beauties makes me want to make some.
