Don't Touch My Junk top Complete

Wouldn't a Baptist Fan quilting pattern be the utmost irony???? 

My design wall is empty because I just finished this top yesterday.  It is a compilation of Junk from my orphan box.  The interesting thing about these poor disjointed blocks is that they brought back so many memories of all the quilts I had attempted or completed (or still have in my UFO pile!)

  1. Ironic, maybe, but I think baptist fans would work ;-)

    I love your "junk."

  5. I think you should do it and then you can chuckle whenever you look at it. It's a great top and that Baptist Fans would look fabulous on it.
    I quilted my Drunkard's Path with Baptist Fans--Irony at it's best.

  6. Cool, I never make a "junk" quilt. I give the orphan blocks away and tiny quilts are made out of them to go with teddy bears that that sherrif department keep in their trunk in case there is a car accident or whatever involving a small child that needs some comfort.
