Can you believe that I sewed?! I certainly can’t! We are getting all settled into our new/old house. The boxes are half unpacked, and the sewing machine, of course, was one of the first items to be un-boxed (after the kid’s room and kitchen). The kids are also doing amazingly well with sharing a room. They’ve been taking 2.5 hour naps each day, which gives me some time to play.
Natalie asked us for a wonky star block for Bee Happy. It’s for a gift, so I needed to get on it! We could do anything we wanted with her fabric, as long as it was a wonky star (or stars) and 18″.
This design popped into my head right before falling asleep (isn’t that how it always is?) and when I couldn’t find an existing pattern, I drew one up on photoshop.
I think it would make a great pillow and I need a couple new ones, so I may do a little tutorial/pattern for it, if anyone is interested. If you’ve seen a pattern for this block before, tell me and I won’t bother!
I’m linking up today with TGIFF over at Quilt Matters this week. Stop on by!
That’s very cute! I’d love to see a tutorial. Anything “wonky” is always a challenge for me.
this is a great block – I have not seen one like it
I saw the pattern and thought baby quilt. Oh the quilting options with a larger size. Heck with the pillow!
Halloween brought out the only stars for me too. These orange fabrics really make your stars dance. Nice job.
Wonky. Spellcheck/autocorrect kills me.
Perfect beauty! I love wonky stars, orange and grey!
Ooh, yes a tutorial would be great! LOVE those stars, Janice!
A tutorial would be lovely. LOVE the pattern.
Fab block and I love the colour combo 🙂
Love your colors! Tute would be wonderful! Thanks!
Love this block. A tute would be great.
Would love a tutorial! I am interested in putting the smallest star shown here, in the center of the biggest star shown here! So info on how to do both, like a tutorial, would be wonderful, if you are still playing with this design!
Thanks for all this!
