In the RSC15 a few people are making wonky star blocks. I thought, no, not for me.....until I saw Jo's finished rainbow quilt here ( scroll down a bit to see her quilt, it's beautiful) and immediately decided I wanted one too. So that was what I did today........prepared my squares and stitched up a blue wonky star, first block for my own rainbow. It's 17 and a half inches finished, nice and big and quick to sew. I used Flutter.Kat's tutorial here.
That's all tonight, my next post will be on the Grow Your Own Blog party at 2 Bags Full.
'til then...........
I love your wonky star block, and you're right: a rainbow quilt with these blocks is a real stunner. Good luck with the next blocks, and with beating the weeds!
