Little Wonky Stars
It's a flimsy!
40.5 x 54
A few weeks ago I pulled out a package of Little Wonky Stars I had been making off and on for years using waste triangles for points. I divided the Stars into two piles - one with white/WOW backgrounds and "the rest". I made a top with "the rest" a few weeks ago.
I had to make more Little Wonky Stars with a white background to have enough for the quilt I had in mind for them. I scrounged up enough WOW (white on white) bits and pieces to make more Stars. And then I turned the Stars into Double 9 Patches. The WOWS look like they have yellowed with age. They are actually pretty old fabrics and the last of most of them but they are really WOWs and not OYOOYs (old yellows on old yellows).
I think that's a lot of white for a comfort quilt for where I usually donate little quilts so when finished it will probably go into the baby gift pile.

LOVE it!! that way the white makes those stars pop!! Yummy!!
Ooooo!!! I ***love*** all the white! Super attractive quilt - total score from old scraps :) I bet a lot of the yellowing will come out in the wash once it's finished.
Your stars are really popping! So good.
SO pretty - love how the stars twinkle.
Twinkle twinkle!
I've had the same problem with my older WoWs turning into yellow-on-yellows. No idea what causes it!
What an excellent idea to make 9 patches with the little Wonky Stars. You have a really pretty quilt which will be ideal for a baby quilt. Lovely flimsy!
Sweet and sparkly! Will you put in the hoop, or under the DSM?
What a sweet summer quilt! ---"Love"
LOVE it!!! Wondered how you came up with that arrangement. Setting the Stars together in 9-Patch blocks was a good idea. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the quilting.
Definitely time to use up those old fabrics, use it up, wear it out, make do or do without. Great job!
Such pretty stars! I love the colors against your scrappy WOW background.
