As I've mentioned many times, I love scrappy quilts. I was inspired by Billie Lauder's Ultimate scrappy 4 patch technique to make lots and lots of scrappy 4 patches. But I needed something to make them POP and be noticed. Using Gwen Marston's technique of creating wonky stars, I sprinkled them on my 4 patches.

I still have many 4 patches left for another quilt, any suggestions?

That's great! Such fun!

Very pretty.

Works very well. Love the brightness the stars give it. They steal the show, so to speak!

oh I love that. I love wonky stars. :) It's great, the yellow really does make it pop!

dang..thats just a great idea!

thanks for sharing your beauty with us!

cool quilt ;-)

Great idea, it makes the quilt more special. BTW, I love your colorful quilt.

Nice

Fantastic! A real happy quilt.

oh love it i love scrapy

That's really neat! I would have loved just the scrappy four patches, but the stars really add something. Make another!

I really like that!

Love the stars sprinkled about. Really makes it pop.

Love the yellow stars

Hey Sue,

I love how that turned out! Thanks for sharing (and sending me the PM so I would see it.) I need to find the pattern for those stars. Did you get it on-line?

Hope to see you again this fall...

Linda, if you go to Bonnie Hunter's quiltville.com website, she shows how to make those wonky stars. I happened to have 3 of Gwen Marston's liberated quilting books from the library to see her method.

they are fun AND easy!

Thought I'd better post the link cuz I even had a hard time finding it. I forgot that Bonnie calls them "maverick stars" ..

I love the addition of the wonky stars. Striking.

This is great. I'm always looking for ideas for a 'guy' quilt. So many quilts look feminine to me. But this quilt would be great for a guy of any age, and a girl would love it also.

Neat!

That is such a fun quilt!

Your scrappy quilts are just wonderful.

Yes this would be great for a guy, maybe keep out the pinks.

Or it could be 'patriotic' in red, blue , white and some purples, maybe

and for a girly girl, use more pinks and pastels. I'm already making some pastel 4 patches to make this for my granddaughter but might do raw edge applique of some large butterflies or dragonflies. It won't get started for awhile, I have others in my 'queue'.

Wow, great job, love it

Love the starts - it makes the quilt.

That is so awesome with the stars in there

Prettttty!!! Prettttty!! Love the scrappy look & love stars....

Very pretty!

The stars sure do change the look of the quilt..Nice

It's beautiful.

I love scrap quilts. You turned a very ordinary scrappy into a real beauty. I'm definitely going to steal your idea. Thanks for show and tell.

Just lovely!

Cute!

A great look for a scrappy quilt. The stars are a super addition. Am bookmarking this one.

And pop this quilt does! So cool! I really like this one for it's pop! Very special!

I love what you did! What size squares are you using in your 4 patches?
