The grey fabric for this quilt to be. Hello Ladies,First of all... |
Sorry...for the mess I am going to let
you make of your sewing room.
Sorry...for all the ironing you have
to do.
Sorry...for making you choose a block.
Sorry... for the overload of
picture's.
I am not sorry I choose this block Wonky Stars, because once you are making it, it’s great FUN.
So let the fun begin.
I am in this Bee for the first time
and so far I like it a lot.
Found out that I don't like making
blocks for others without some guiding lines, beside the color. So I have drawn
the blocks you can choose from or you can make one as you go. I like the stars
to pop out but please don't take to much pink in them.
Choosing a block as a Queenbee should
do was kind of difficult for me, but then I saw this one from Sue {link tutorial}. I asked her
if it was alright to use her tutorial and she said YES.
Her quilt is not finished but maybe I
can persuade her to finish it before the end of this year just like mine.
What can I say then: have fun and make
sure your seam allowance is good. I use a ¼ inch seam allowance.
My wishes are approximately the same
as the guidelines from Sue. I like every color in it, but like I said before
not to much pink please.
Backgroundfabric is 1½ x 1½ inch, you see the starpoint are bigger. |
All the sizes in the blocks are with a
¼inch seam allowance what make a block 12½ inch unfinished.
Cutting all the pieces in advance saves time. |
I find out that when you cut the
squares for the starpoints, it sometimes is fine that they are a little bit
bigger then the pattern prescribes.
Even making this one is less than 90 minutes. |
So when the backgroundfabric is nine
3x3 inch squares, the starpoints are four 3x3 square.
Making them 3¼x3¼ inch square is less
stress to fit them in the corners.

A little bit about me is that I am a
young woman of 58. Married with {not so} Handsome {anymore, but still mine to
keep} for 36 years. We have two daughters {1984/1982} they have a household of
their own. We have three cats Gandalf, Wolowitz and Bilbo. Quilting is what I
do for almost 17/18 years. Very slow in the beginning but after starting a
quiltbee in 2005 a lot more. Now I have a BerninaQ24 longarm and I love it.
Want to start my own small business
with it.

P.s. I have one small request to all of you. Would you all be so very kind to make me a small white square {2½ or 3 inch finished} with your name, date, place and country on it? I will make it in to a wonky star for the back. I would really, really love that.
Thank you so very much in advance. ♥

this is mine, not a star yet, and it needs the date when it's finished. the black dotted line is 3inch. |
Now all the drawings, click on them and they get a lot bigger, so you can see how much you need to cut and how it is made.
don't forget the left / right starpoints cuting on the long starpoints. |
