A group blog for working on UnRuly Quilting projects and most especially UnRuly Letters. What is UnRuly? Liberated, wonky, improvisational, mis-matched, points cut off FUN.

a bug/word

 A snow day meant a chance to sew some more. I was able to get a whole block done!! I really had to think and go slow for the head to be part of the B.  The black things coming out of his head are antennas.
I love his fat feet.
I was concerned about all the blank white space....then I remembered Tonya likes to hand quilt and I am sure she can fill it with adorable stuff!
I still have that other bug body. He will definitely get fat feet!

This one is fantastic! I think everyone should put their name in the title or label so we know who made the letters...

Julie, that's a hoot! even wearing a Santa hat. awesome. very creative.

I have to admit, this will probably be longarm machine quilted. These big quilts would take me forever to hand quilt... but the blank white space helps the bug to breathe - good to have areas like that in a quilt. congrats!
