Monkey Madness Quilt for the Focus Through the Prism Challenge.
by Leslie Carmichael
I've always loved RaNae Merrill's mandala quilts so I took a class
from her a few years ago. I've been wanting to make some type of
spiral quilt since taking that class. I saw my mirrors in a drawer
when I decided to do this challenge so I thought I'd try a spiral
quilt. I divided a circle into eight sections and began playing with
different size monkey wrench's until I came up with this design. I
needed something to complete the quilt so I added the bars in the
corners. The middle looked so bare, I added the star to the center. I
used yellow cherrywood fabric for the monkey wrenches and after
finishing the quilt, I realized I needed red cherrywood on the quilt
since it read red, so the trim on the bars and star are red cherrywood
fabric.
This has been so much fun, I'm looking forward to next month's challenge.
I really like the way the blocks spiral out getting bigger and bigger.

ReplyDeleteLove the layout and spiral effect! How small are your monkey wrenches?
ReplyDeleteThe outside row has 2 1/2 inch monkey wrenches. The two inside rows have 2 1/8 inch monkey wrenches.
