Here's the first block in my Wonky Star baby quilt. I am using the little tutorial from Victoria's Silly BooDilly Blog Wonky Star Tutorial, but since I am using two different sizes for my star centers, I had to alter dimensions to make each overall block the same size. Though it's a girl's quilt, I am going with gender-neutral colors (blue and brown, but also pink, red, green and yellow), but settled on a theme of Flying Objects. These objects mostly include birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and bees. I have also thrown in a couple of less obvious flying objects, like pigs and monkeys (as in "when pigs fly" or "when monkeys fly out of my butt").
It's nice to be sewing again, and I love being able to do quilt after quilt, and each one is so different! Of course, even if I decided to do the same quilt pattern, size, and fabrics, it would be so unique- but I won't be doing a repeat quilt pattern for a while, I think, as there are just so many I am excited to try!
Butterflies inside of a big star...this is going to be a HIT!!!!
