Purple Wonky Star

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!

    1. I 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.

  2. Those 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!
    Great tip to use both sides of the fabric.

    1. 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.

  3. I use the backs of fabrics too, but not intentionally. Very clever to think of it ahead of time. Your quilt is coming together beautifully.

    1. Thanks Sally. I used to worry about that, I guess that was leftover rules from garment making days. It works wonderfully for quilting.

    1. Thanks 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.

  5. What a treat to find a few hours to sew. The few purples look like many. All girls seem to like all these pretty colors.

    1. Thanks 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.

  9. This 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.

    1. Starting 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.

    1. Yeah, what little girl doesn't like rainbow colors. She lives in Seattle so a bright cheery quilt should brighten her day.
