Wonky Stars, simple. But I didn't trim the triangles off and so I have some lumpy spots. Lesson learned, always trim. If it's going to be stretchy, starch and press carefully. I may even be converted to pressing seams open too.
I cut the filler pieces short and had to rip three seams and do them again. Then there were the set-in seams. I do these but usually relating to diamonds. Glad I already had that skill or this quilt may not have been completed.
I am very pleased with the way it turned out. Bigger than I planned too. I rarely make baby quilts this large. It measures approximately 46"x62". This baby will be well covered.
Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. I haven't made any quilts lately, but am thinking about a new one for my bed. The stars are great, and I learned the hard way, pressing the seam open is time consuming but a good thing to do on stars. Love your quilts, I always have. Just like Carol, I to remember your first quilt.

I love this quilt! It almost seems like a maze.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good spring quilt! Though not traditionally spring colors, the bright hope of it is how I feel when I look into my backyard. Pockets of sunshine color :).
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great. I'm going to try ONE big wonky star for a wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI'm pooped. We have had a day of service going on and I was on the quilt committee. We think we have about 60 finished for the shelter.
Very pretty! I love all the primary colored stars.
