I've been waiting for the wadding for my Siblings Together quilt top arrive (which it did on Friday) so in the meantime I made a little wonky star baby quilt using this tutorial.
Even with all the trimming (of which I'm not a great fan - always paranoid I'll chop a chunk off that I wasn't meant to) I loved making them. Fabrics are Urban Zoologie by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman from Frumble and Klona cotton in pink and pomegranate from Backstitch.
All my new favourite things (wonky stars, HSTs, paper piecing) seem to involve a lot of trimming - ah well such is life.
I've got some Izzy flannel for the back - not a perfect match colour wise but not too bad.
So next up basting (for this and the Siblings quilt)
Bye for now

Great quilt top! It is so fun! I love the pink and pomegranate colors together. I feel the same about trimming. I end up cutting off more than I am supposed to more than I'd like to admit!
