wonky star blocks

i started working on some wonky star blocks for the bushfire quilt project and now LOVE these star blocks. i decided to keep making them since i enjoyed the process so much. this will be the perfect quilt for my other daughter- to go at the end of her bed. i have 18 to make. 16 for my daughter, and then 2 to go for the bushfire quilt project.

a close-up of the pink van block. aren't they so fun!

i origanlly was going to be using these blocks for my daughters quilt, but was having a bit of a challenge with these. now these will be made into a doll quilt for her. :)


hope everyone has a splendid day!

    I agree with Des! I absolutely love your color choices! And where did you ever find all that cute cute fabric? The pink van. The girls swinging on bars -- SO SO cute!!!

    I agree, great color choices for the star quilts :-). And I also really love your original blocks - I think you'll have a really great quilt if you keep moving forward with them! But of course I have a new special fondness for doll quilts, so if that's what they become then I think that's brilliant as well ;-). And the girls swinging on bars absolutely makes my heart leap.

    Wow Kerri!
    This is beeeauutifuuul! I love the subtle colours, with just a hint of orange - perfect!

    I sent off my BushFire Quilt block some days ago, and I want to make a quilt in that wonky stars pattern too :)

    The cute monkey bars, and the girls jumping rope is a hr fabric. I purchased some hr mushrooms from someone on flickr and she sent me a few scraps of that cute print!! don't you just LOVE it!! I think the print was called "recess", but I could be wrong.
