"Field of Wonky Stars"

I was able to jump right on this quilt top and finish it up this past week!

Fun. It was a simple quilt to make and because I used 2.5” strips and squares - mostly strips - it was relatively quick and easy to put together. I just featured the top last week so many of you remember it.

I had wanted to go ahead and finish with the quilting of it right now as well.

I’ve been able to whittle down a lot of my excess numbers of quilt tops that I’ve had sitting around. I’m grateful actually.

While I tend to classify "a finished quilt top’” as a different type of UFO (unfinished object) as a bunch of blocks, I don’t really like having oodles and oodles of tops that haven’t been finished yet.

I have enough of those as charity tops. I do have a lot of those - and make more of those each month (Big Fabric Haul).

Anyway. I quilted this with loops and stars. I kind of smiled to myself as in various places, if you look at the top, you will see stars on three levels - first of all, the wonky stars, then the star fabrics and then the stars in the quilting.

I guess if you aren’t a fan of stars, this is one quilt you will need to just simply “not look at”.

I made nice wide sashing on this - it is cut 4.5” wide which means those cornerstones are 4.5” squares (before being sewn into the quilt top).

Here’s a close up of a wonky star.

The nice thing about having cornerstones so large means that you can actually piece them and they are still ‘do-able”.

The quilt roll is here!

I am having a hard time focusing right now but will get the pattern up ASAP - today, I believe, if I haven’t by the time you read this - check back soon. (It’s up now - left that that note just so you can see that at times I have an awful time focusing and don’t get what I want to done!)

It will be (is) on the Free Patterns page..

When I wrote about how I made the top, I showed pictures step by step of how to make the wonky star points but this way it will be all shown on paper - not only the internet. Some people want/need it that way!

Have a great day wherever you are reading this! Stay safe!
