There's no place like a wonky house

 Click to enlarge -- it's worth it!

It's a flimsy! I've finished the top of "There's no place like home", which measures 50 by 60. I meant for this to be throw size, and I started making this as a gift for someone specific, but along the way, I've changed my mind. I'm pleased with how this turned out, but I just decided not to present it to the initial recipient for reasons that have nothing to do with quilting, so I won't bore you with that. I think this is a fun and lively quilt, and I counted about 50 different fabrics in here. I've been heavily influenced by Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran and their Collaborate Quilts books. Moran especially puts in 100 different fabrics and lots of black and white. I didn't quite make it to 100, but there's lots of black and white. I made the piano key border with b/w prints, mixed in with some green. The words are a bit scrappier and wonkier than my usual style, but I think they work with the variety of houses. Now this goes on the "To be quilted" pile. I'm still a novice machine quilter, and this isn't calling out for hand quilting, so I haven't yet decided how to proceed.
