Sewing Wonky Stars

Image
Well, wonky stars are a new experience for me and I am having fun.  It's going to take some time to do them all, but here are the first three. The Echino fabrics and Essex linen make a good combination, and I am looking forward to having all of the blocks finished up! Here's a closer look at my current favorite, the chocolate brown Echino leopard on turquoise blue! Happy quilting!  There are a zillion wonky star blocks calling my name! Susan

Tana Lawn Quilt: It's Time to Sew!

Image
Hooray, I have finished the blocks for my Tana Lawn strip quilt and it's time to sew up the quilt top.  Here's a look at all of the blocks for the top arranged on the floor before I get started sewing it all together this afternoon... I am also starting a wonky star quilt in a very different color palette!  I have decided to do Elizabeth's Sparkle Punch Quilt-Along and have been cutting up my pieces.  The colors of these fabrics are so cheerful, especially compared to the greys in my Tana Lawn strip quilt!  Here's a quick look at my piles of 3 1/2 inch squares that I have cut from my stash of Echino prints from various years. It's really cold, windy and snowy here today, although the sun is peeking through the clouds now.  Happy quilting, everyone! Susan
