The Last Wonky Stars

You never know who is right but you always know who is in charge.

Quilting


I've been helping my kids so this post is late. Here's the final wonky stars with two larger slab-center stars. There aren't very many but this layout might work with two simple borders. It's just not too exciting at the moment. 


There was just enough dark red to make the inner border a funny width { I think it was 1 7/8".} Then I pulled a white print to fill out the star border and cut it to fit. The outer border was a bit more problematical but a black and brown batik seems to echo the inner border and relate the more beige/yellow star backgrounds with the more white/brown/grey outer border. What an improvement to the "ugly duckling" start.

Wonky Stars Medallion baby quilt

That print of birds in winter was a gift from my sister and reminds us both of our grandparents. They had a bird feeder that attracted loads of cardinals. What fun to watch them.


A diagonally printed stripe for the back with spiral quilting again and this baby quilt is also done and gifted.

Loving your wonky stars, such a sweet quilt. Great to have fabrics on hand to add interesting borders.
