{Not so...} Mini Monday - SAHRR - Round 5

 

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.

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!!

  4. Your 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.

  6. Love 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!

  8. Your 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.
