I finally got my March block done for Jorie today. She wanted a Wonky Star and I found a great tutorial on the web (http://thesillyboodilly.blogspot.com/2009/02/wonky-star-tutorial.html).
Great thing about this quilt block swap is I am getting to use up some of my material from my scrap stash. This is the second month in a row I had to do a Wonky Star and they are starting to grow on me. The first one I did I made the seams too wide so I was doing a scant 1/4" on this one to make sure it was 12.5 inches wide. Turns out I did a little too good of a job since it was almost 13 inches wide. Personally, I like to make the points of the star a little more wonky than usual to give it interest. I am thinking about doing a whole quilt of this kind of star for my engineer friend since it would probably test her patience on not being perfect points!
My next challenge is to do my block for Linda G who moderates our swap block so you know it probably should be better than my usual work.
