RSC 2022 Quilt finish

 I have been making Wonky Star blocks most months for two or three years as part of the RSC project.

I’ve already used some blocks in several quilts  but decided to use a whole lot more to make this Project Linus quilt:

It measures 40” square and uses 36 Wonky Stars. I used a piece of leftover fabric for the border and joined leftover pieces of yellow and cream fabrics for the binding.

A couple of years ago when I needed to replenish my stash of backing fabrics I got 3 metres of this lovely autumn leaf fabric which I love:




A close up of some of the blocks:


My niece and two nephews have started the sad task of getting my sister’s house ready for sale and asked if there was anything I would like to keep. One of the items that I wished to have was a little quilt I made for Pat’s birthday in April 2005. It was designed to hang on her kitchen wall where it’s had pride of place ever since. Pat was a wonderful gardener hence the design I chose had that theme. It was from a book of Australian quilts which I’m sure I still have in my Quilting bookcase. Here it is on the wall of my landing, opposite my Sewing Room so every time I go in and out of there I shall think of my lovely big sister.
Light not the best today, well it’s early December, only 4C out there and dark and dreary.



Linking up with Angela’s So scrappy blog.
The embroidered words say “Planters Patch”.

  1. I love the stars on all the different backgrounds, so much more interesting than the more usual cream or white. That's a lovely memory of your sister hanging on your wall.
