One of the quilting bees I admin over on Flickr is called
Sew Buzzy. Our first month is this June and AntiqueRoses (Kristin) has started us off with a request for wonky stars made in 1930's reproduction fabrics. Each person in the bee was mailed some white Kona cotton and a mix of 1930's repro fabric in one color--I received purple. Everyone was assigned either one 12.5 inch block or two 6.5 inch blocks. We could make additional blocks with the extra fabric if we wanted. (
You might be wondering who'd do the extra work, but you should know that we quilters are not only very helpful but very enthusiastic about quilts--so yes, most actually would!) I completed mine over the Memorial Day weekend and they are already on their way to their new home.
Here is my 12.5 inch wonky star block in 1930's purples:
There was just enough extra white for a little 6.5 inch wonky star--I couldn't resist! (Isn't it a cutie.)
