One night I played with
Tonya's wonky house tutorial and made two house blocks. One immediately went into a project that I can't show you yet. The other one sat around waiting for a good spot to go, and eventually found its way into this quilt. The hot air balloons were made by someone else in a challenge from me to use that wall paper-ish looking fabric and make it kid-friendly. I decided to add the house (with added tree made from wall paper-y fabric) underneath and a bird and cloud above. After I got it put together I had these thoughts:
1) the tree next to the wonky house looks like a large guitar jammed handle first into the ground
2) the bird is either sitting on a cloud or is producing a very large "splat"
This is going to a kid's quilt donation group; I just hope whoever gets the quilt enjoys the ambiguity of my tree and cloud designs.

I think this quilt (and quilter) has a great sense of humor. I'm sure the recipient will 'get it'. :)
Oh, it's loads of fun. Some lucky child will love this quilt and drag it around constantly.
Hi Carol, it's a great wonky house!! And what a great idea to have the guitars in there..*VBS* Sure makes it one of a kind! Great job! Hugs, Finn
I think any child would love to get this cheery quilt! Lots to imagine.
Those balloon blocks look familiar!
I love the house, you tied them all together perfectly!
