There hasn't been much opportunity for quilting lately, plus I just couldn't get excited about working with my brown scraps this month. However, I didn't want to completely miss out on linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, so I made two more pink and brown Shooting Stars blocks to go with the two that were already finished.
These blocks are quite large, finishing at 14" before they get the tilted frames. I already have one pink and brown bed quilt and don't really want another one. Maybe I will make more of these blocks and turn them into a donation quilt.
Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday.

ReplyDeleteThe wonky frames really add to the movement of the blocks, a clever idea.

Your blocks are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThose are really neat stars, and I love the look of the wonky setting! I am curious about the pattern you used for them, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a striking block (no pun intended!), even in browns. Someone, someday, will love to have a quilt made from those beauties.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are going to make an amazing quilt. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
