Worked several hours Thursday in my sewing room. My goal was to finish my wonky star for April RSC2014. I am really pleased how it turned out. I didn't have a lot of purple and was worried I didn't have enough variety, but I used the right and wrong side of one fabric to give me the variety I needed.
I couldn't resist laying out all my wonky star blocks. I think my granddaughter is really going to love all these rainbow colors!
I like those purples! And of course your granddaughter will love the rainbow star quilt ... it's already looking fabulous with just the 4 colors! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the purples too, not sure why I only own a few. Glad to see these pieces finally come out of the stash and used.
DeleteThose blocks look great together. I just need more time in the day so I can sew all the things I'd like to. This is going to be my pattern for next year.... if I don't start sometime this year with them!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip to use both sides of the fabric.
It is a fun and easy block. Each one seems to sparkle when I finish it. Now I am looking forward to next months color.
DeleteI use the backs of fabrics too, but not intentionally. Very clever to think of it ahead of time. Your quilt is coming together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally. I used to worry about that, I guess that was leftover rules from garment making days. It works wonderfully for quilting.
DeleteI don't see how she could not love them. What a fun collection of blocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting RSC2014, I really like the idea of using a color a month. I also like that each month is almost like its own project.
DeleteWhat a treat to find a few hours to sew. The few purples look like many. All girls seem to like all these pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteI always have fun once I give myself permission. We have a wybeet forcast for this week, so maybe I can get my next quilt top marked.
DeleteBoy all the colors are amazing together--I especially like that turquoise--but wouldn't want to HAVe to pick out a fave..nice work--she'll fall in love with it I'm sure hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYes, I agee the colors are so vibrant, can't wait to see what May will bring. It is so good to get these out of my stash.
DeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie
Deleteoh, she sure will! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! Hopefully it will be completed by ther 4th birthday next April
DeleteBeautiful! Your blocks look great together. Love the pattern you have chosen for RSC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! I thought it would be a great way to use the rest of my bright scraps and so far it is doing the trick.
DeleteThis will be an incredible quilt. What's not to love! Isn't it amazing how some fabrics work both ways and you have a choice of how to use it.
ReplyDeleteStarting off as a garment maker that would have been a no -no, but with quilting it is a great solution for when a bit more variety is needed.
DeleteBright and fun. Your granddaughter is going to love it. I especially love the random stars.
ReplyDeleteI agree wonky stars in a random pattern, it doesn't get better than that
DeleteLove those wonky star blocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila, I love the wonky stars too. I am not a very accurate piecer so this block fits the bill.
DeleteOf course your granddaughter is going to love theses wonky stars. It will be an awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I love the simplicity of the is block!
DeleteI'm sure she will ; ) Lovely
ReplyDeleteYeah, what little girl doesn't like rainbow colors. She lives in Seattle so a bright cheery quilt should brighten her day.
DeleteYour wonky stars are looking beautiful together!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I needed a bit of inspiration, can't wait for next month's color
DeleteThis is beautiful! These are going to make a fantastic quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy! I do love the bright fabrics all together with the light colored stars.
DeleteI love how easy the wonky stars are to make. Not being accurate is right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteGreat star blocks, they look so go together.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love that quilt??? It's very uplifting...like a rainbow.
