Doll Quilt #6: Wonky Stars

First of all:  IT SNOWED!

I'm the biggest kid when it comes to snow. 
I wish we got lots more here in KS.

Second:  I actually had this post all made up

last night...and then it disappeared.  Grrr.

Now, back on topic:

Here's doll quilt #6,

 hot off the machine just last night.

I decided to teach myself how to make a

wonky star.  I've never "wonkied" anything
but it looked simple enough--it is!

There are instructions here but I didn't bother

to make triangles.  I just cut one straight edge

on my scraps of yellow and went from there.

A scrap to one side (very similar to paper piecing)...

Trim the extras off the back.

Press out and trim square back to 2 1/2".

Repeat on the other side.

Look at that--it's starting to twinkle already.

I decided that I needed to pick up the pace.  I

"cheated" and skipped the binding, layered

it together like a pillow and sewed it up.  I knew

it would make it a little bulky on the edges

because of the batting.  I did not realize it would

make the edges sew up a little crooked but

I guess it's not bad...I don't think a sweet little

girl's doll is going to mind.

I really like the colors in it.  Nice n' cheery!
