Welcome to Round FIVE of the Stay at Home Round Robin!! This week's prompt was offered by Wendy @ Pieceful Thoughts of My Quilting Life. Her selection?? Wonky Stars. I'm a fan of those, but I'm not sure how to make them fit in my slowly expanding quilt.
But first...
Let's see if I was able to stay caught up with the other SAHRR makers.
That one was followed by its twin:
I actually did make some progress...
On Round 5. I made ONE Wonky Star:
And then another:
That one was followed by its twin:
One more block rounded out the row:
How will you arrange those Wonky Stars, Joyful???
I'm glad you asked! Needleb had an interesting suggestion. Half stars like the Feathered Star. (I actually had a dream about it that night and drew out a crown-like Wonky Star the next morning!) My friend Maggie suggested the partial stars could be dancing in different directions. I tried an on-point setting with full blocks, but that didn't feel right and also auditioned the half blocks that my friends suggested. In the end, this is what worked best:
I wasn't sure if it would happen, but...
I stayed caught up on my Stay at Home Round Robin (so I released this post a little early, again so I wouldn't miss the Link Party @ Wendy's blog!) Here it is in its current completed five-"round" state:
Just in time to check out the Round 6 prompt from Susan @ Quilt Fabrication.
Until next time...
QUILT a round!!
Very neat!!! I love how you are doing rows instead of rounds! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to next week's addition!
Very good--it is coming together!
ReplyDeleteYour wonky stars look great! I'm really liking how this quilt is progressing!
ReplyDeleteI’m really liking how your SAHRR quilt is coming together. I wasn’t certain how you were going to work with your 1/2 feathered star but you are making it work! Love your creativity!
ReplyDeleteYour wonky stars look great, Joy! I like the way you're adding rows instead of borders all the way around - it's a neat look.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking how you have turned the Round Robin in to a Row Robin!
ReplyDeleteLove how you're turning your SAHRR into a row quilt. I definitely wouldn't have thought of that. Good thinking and great fun watching it evolve!
ReplyDeleteOh it is turning out so cool!!... you have a great imagination!
ReplyDeleteYour interpretation of all the prompts is really coming together. I just realize that rather than a medallion quilt, you've used the prompts to make a row by row quilt. It has been such fun to see how each individual has developed their version. I'm looking forward to seeing the parade of all the final projects.
