I finished up my Bushfire Quilt stars last night, and I am happy to report that I was able to make 7 to send off to Tia. It was my first time making wonky stars and I relied heavily on the Silly BooDilly's great tutorial. For all of the blocks containing the stars' points, I used 5" squares and then trimmed them down to 4.5" before assembling. The best part? I used 100% scraps and some squares that I had received from the Spare Change swap. They were fun to make, and I am SURE that I'll be making more of these!
I'm so happy to be able to support this wonderful effort. Thanks again to Tia for taking this on ... I am sure this project has grown far beyond her wildest expectations, but she's handling it like a champ. And it will yield such beautiful quilts for so many people who are suffering right now. I can't wait to see the finished products!
like i said on flickr...
ReplyDeleteyour blocks are awesome.
i figured out why yours rock WAY more than mine.
i was SO using a tutorial that was not the best.
i'm gonna try this one.
:D
Great blocks! I am sure they will make someone happy!! ~ Jennie
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are great! What a good way to use your Spare Change sqares.

Great blocks! Thanks for the link to that tutorial - it's so much easier to follow!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO in love with these! And your scraps are stunning too. :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat stars! The last 2 are my favourites.
ReplyDeletePS my word verification is 'piced'; almost 'pieced' - how appriopriate!
Those are great. The purple and green ones are my favorite. I need to get working on mine.
ReplyDeleteheentidI can't tell you how wonderful I think you all are for doing these. The generosity from people around the world is quite extraordinary and I know that those who suffered here will appreciate it so very much. You'll be pleased to know that a couple of the worst hit areas are reopening their schools (in portable buildings) next week as they begin to rebuild. One town has taken it upon themselves to build a special village of completely self-contained huts while they get on with everything. Community spirit is amazing isn't it!
ReplyDeleteHi from Raleigh! Your blocks are wonderful--I sent a few in to Tia but used a different tutorial. Yours turned out alot more interesting so I'm going to try out the tutorial you used and make a few more. "Cary" on!
ReplyDeletethese are lovely!! i worked on some too, and just love the wonky stars. :)
ReplyDeleteTHey look great! Beautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the tutorial!!

John, I love the stars and yes, they are for a great cause. Fires are hard to understand especially when started on purpose. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Work and I am so glad to meet a man that quilts. I must ask you a hundred questions some day.
ReplyDeleteI came to you via Sarah's Corner and have listed your blog on mine!
The fabrics are awesome!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI reached your blog delightfully via audreypawdrey and I just don't think I've seen any prettier quilts and photos of quilts! You do exquisite work and I just love your colors, style, tastes, everything! I'll be looking in on a regular basis for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThose look great. I love wonky stars....I should add some to my to do list
ReplyDeleteI am going to use that tutorial too! Looks great, keep it up quiltdad.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color combos on the very last photo. Great work! Compliments from a fellow male quilter!
ReplyDeleteExcellent project. Thanks for the links. I'll have to get sewing some stars! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog, but...wow!!! I've got block envy, big time! :) Lovely, lovely work.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty..I especially loved the first 2. Purple is my favorite color!! It's so nice to see a man quilting. My little boy started learning to quilt with me a year or so ago. I took some flack from some of my husbands friends for teaching my son to sew!! I didn't let it stop me though. He put some basic 4 patch squares together and now we're hoping to put it all together. Thanks so much for blogging! You are an inspiration to all those (guys) out there!!
ReplyDeleteyour stars are fantastic! i love the colors that you've put together. just wonderful!
ReplyDeletelove your stars!!! looks great! the 9 patch is about to be finished! gotta get it quilted!! thanks again for your squares!
