A few weeks ago, I was looking at my latest precuts purchase, a jelly roll (set of 2 1/2 inch strips) and a charm pack (set of 5 inch blocks), wondering what to do with them. I came across the Wiggly Whimsy pattern and figured I would invert the pattern. Where it called for white, I would use the prints I had, and where it called for prints, I would use white.

In my mind, the result would be a quit that looked like it had a scattering of white blocks instead of a scattering of colors. As I was finishing the quilt top, I decided to keep the white sashing between columns. The result was a linked chain effect. (Sidenote: I didn’t see the linked chain pattern until showing this quilt top to family. I had the original pattern of scattered small blocks still stuck in my mind.)

In person, the green fabric doesn’t seem to be as strong as it does in the photos. It seemed a little stronger than the other fabrics when I was piecing the quilt, but the photos make it stand out a lot more.

I’m excited to quilt this! I have no idea what design I’ll use, but I’m thinking I might do flowers in the sashing to echo the floral prints. I hope to have this quilted in a few days!
