Wonky star quilt

Have fun with this wonky star quilt pattern! A great stash buster project, or way to use up your fabric scraps!

My friend wanted to make some wonky stars today... so we worked together... and figured out how it's done. We began with 3" squares.

Here's a simply tutorial on how to make a 12.5" wonky star block for the Bushfire Quilt Project, which I blogged about in the previous post. (My apologies for the variations in the lighting of these photos, the clouds kept rolling in and out during this shoot. UPDATED NOTE: I wrote this tutorial, in an attempt to make the process as straight forward and simple to follow as I possibly could. However, please know that if you use triangle shapes cut a bit larger, ( by an inch or two) you will…

Another Friday finish for you…and this week is a darling little baby quilt I made using some small wonky star blocks I had floating around… Usually when I make wonky star quilts I use 5…
