To wonk or not to wonk

I am making another baby quilt for a friend. I wanted it to be a little modern and to try something new. I wanted to go WONKY! I used a great tutorial and gave it a shot. I am not sure if I will love the finished product, but I am excited to try out my new machine on some fun machine quilting.

 This is a wonky square. You start with right angles and then trim a side here and there at a slant.  This is what all the squares look like.

The next step is to decide how I want to square them up. I will be trimming them to a 10" square, but I might not cut the square exactly dead on center. (The tutorial will show you what I mean.) Then I will add a sashing and a border.

My fear is that my friend and her family, who are not familiar with what is popular in the quilting world might think I just can't cut straight! So, I decided to try one traditional log cabin block to show that I can. I will use this blog as a bag to present the quilt in.

Even though the upper right looks crooked in this picture, it is really straight!

I am going to RESOLVE to step out of my crafting comfort zone and try new things this year. Wonky was definitely out there! What is your resolution?
