Wonky One-Block Quilts
Marlous Carter
C&T Publishing; $21.95
If you or your students are looking for a way to add another level of interest to your quilts, give the wonky technique a try. The basics are simple: traditional blocks are created and then cut at a new angle. Once the blocks are all cut, they are pieced into a quilt. Sometimes you can easily find the original block; sometimes it’s difficult. Once you’ve got the technique down, Marlous Carter offers you eight projects plus a variety of creative borders. This would be a fun way to use a stack of blocks you’ve not put into a quilt yet.
