Finally got the quilt top together..The original pattern from a 2004 magazine was for a lap quilt. I enlarged the patterns and added strips and borders to make it full size. Now still have to decide on a back...I really would like to use my stash, but not sure if I have anything I would like...Really want to use up a lot of my stash, so I can go buy more!! LOL

That quilt was just made using the wonky star pattern, but interlocking the stars. You can find a quilt along for this style here:

It's a different take on a pattern that's been around forever. (The wonky star gained popularity when it was used for the Bush Fire Relief quilts some years back)
I hope that helps!!

Well I noticed that you started this on Sunday, It's now Monday and I just got the QB newsletter so you're probably all done by now! I've been to the gym for aqualates and strength training and will get to the sewing machine after lunch. It's a good incentive to include others!
Wow, wish I had joined yesterday! I made a tumbler quilt top Saturday and worked on the backing yesterday. Decided for backing to use charms 2 wide, 16 long as a stripe off center to extend the fabric the number of inches I needed. This quilt is a donation for Habitat for Humanity that my employer will be constructing on the 20th. I would much rather swing a needle than a hammer! The quilts shown are so inspiring, love them!

I just read your quilt challenge. It sounds like fun! Maybe I can join next time. I made three scrap string pieced strip quilt tops this weekend sized 43 x 61. I love doing that. They are made entirely from cast off fabric that would have gone to the landfill if I hadn't used it. The scraps were given to me by several people and guild offerings. Now to get them quilted.
I have lost count of the tops I have to be quilted for Linus.
