My very first quilt class was a wonky star quilt using the Buggy Barn method (just did't know it was called that back then). The instructor told the class to forget all the quilting rules they knew because this method broke them all. But I was a brand new beginner, so had no rules to forget! Since I'd only sown garments, I cut out my first big wonky star with the right sides of the fabric together - my first big mistake!

I agree with so many others here. Your quilt is so cute! You've put a lot of work into it so far, You and your son will be happy when it is finished!

From my experience.....children love us and like knowing we are not so "perfect" cause then they don't have to be either. I love your quilt and can't wait to see it finished.
