After the whole
rethinking of this newly renamed Starry Night quilt, I decided starting with the stars would be good. Wonky stars are always fun! Actually, I had forgotten how much fun they are.
I am on a roll now! I need 10 or 11 stars, and then I'll add borders to them to make the blocks the right size.

| That middle yellow is a left over from my lone star quilt--it is perfect for stars! |

| I love using scraps and reminiscing about all the quilts I've made with the fabrics. But when I pulled out that lower left, two-fabric square...I had no memory of using/making it. Hmm. |
So, do you wonky-star? I'm pretty sure a whole quilt of scrappy wonky stars is in my future!

It's going to be amazing! I love wonky stars, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to know how you do those stars! They look really cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is a basic tutorial for them: http://thesillyboodilly.blogspot.com/2009/02/wonky-star-tutorial.html I don't cut squares/triangles for the star points, I just grab a scrap, play around with placement, and sew!
DeleteVery pretty wip! I love the contrast of the stars against the dark blue background!
ReplyDeleteI love me a wonky star. Yours look great! I made a giant wonky star ispy quilt a few months back. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteNeat! Should come together and be something really special.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
