Moving Along

This week, I wanted to finish sewing the Rainbow Jungle trees into 4 patches, and then into rows, and then into a quilt top.  

By Friday afternoon, the rows were coming together.


Needing some leaders and enders, I pulled out some scrappy bits and worked on a wonky star block.


It didn't take long to have a star block...

(That bottom right corner is a little skimpy!  
Maybe it will work anyway, with a smaller seam allowance.)

and the center of a quilt top, too!

This measures 48.5 x 54.5, so it's going to get a 6 inch forest green border all the way around.  More on that next week, hopefully!  :)

The wonky stars are going to mix in with the Easy Breezy blocks I'm making, like this - 

These blocks will continue on into 2021.

    I love the stars with your Easy Breezy blocks!! They look fab! I didn't think that one star was skimpy though~!
    I love your tree quilt! Can't wait to see the border! Have a wonderful day Diann and a great weekend!

    Your tree quilt is turning out to be so pretty, and a nice sized quilt! Can't wait to see it with the green border. I noticed those stars in your "I Like Thursday" post and loved them in with the Easy Breezy blocks.

    The wonky stars are going to be the perfect addition to Easy Breezy. Yesterday I discovered a box of pre-cut Christmas fabrics for wonky trees that I cut in 2017!

    great idea for easy breezy - I made a few trees for a house quilt and the next thing I knew I was hooked

    A wide green border sounds like the perfect way to finish off the tree quilt. Love how the wonky stars look together with easy breezy. Great progress on both quilts.

    Great idea for combining those Easy Breezy blocks and the stars. That will make a great quilt! The trees look very cheery and a wide border will finish them nicely. Have a great day!

    Trees and stars! Fun! Yes, that wonky star will work, even if you lose the point (it's part of the wonky).

    I love the trees. The wonky stars are a perfect match for the Easy Breezy blocks. I need to remember to try alternate blocks to bring some of my interrupted projects to a finish.

    Oh, that Rainbow Jungle is fun! And what a great idea to combine Wonky Stars and Easy Breezies. I'll have to remember Easy Breezies for an alternate block. I think I need one for an old UFO.

    A dark green border will really frame all those little trees. And I love the idea of the stars between the Easy blocks!

    Brilliant to add the wonky stars to the Easy Breezy. Hum... maybe I should try something like that. It may be difficult for me as I used all sorts of different fabrics in all three locations. I'm not ready to be done with them yet although soon if I'm lucky.

    Ooh that scrappy happy twinkling stars will definitely sparkle with the easy breezy blocks.
