Around the Block - March 2010

I am getting ahead of myself here.  These are March blocks for the "Around the Block" swap.



These blocks are for Bronwyn from Whippet Good.  Bronwyn asked for wonky star blocks made with Kaffe Fassett fabric using  Kona Cotton in Nightfall as the background.


Bronwyn's vision is for a dark night sky filled with sparkly stars; all different sizes, shapes, colors, and placed randomly on the quilt. I pieced four blocks all different sizes, piecing the smallest block (predominantly yellow  and blue star) with the leftover scraps of the solid fabric.


I used the Wonky Star Tutorial posted by The Silly BooDilly which is simple and straight forward.  Although I am not a huge fan of wonky piecing, these wonky stars were easy, and did not feel all that foreign to me.
