Next time you see this quilt I will definitely have decided on a name for it and made it a lovely label. For now, it's still the Giant Wonky Star Quilt. I added the borders and pieced a backing. Here it is.

My inspiration came from my submission to the Astronomical Quilts! Block Challenge.

I love so many of the pages in this Logic Book Quiet Book. So for round two of our quiet book page swap I chose to make a Colored Strips Pyramid. Well, 16 of them. The idea is for the child to build a design they see to the right using the five felt strips.

My sister designed the digital file showing the 5 examples so I could print them at Spoonflower. It was totally worth it to me to pay for the print-on-demand fabric so that I didn't have to deal with tiny pieces of felt to make 80 patterns! My pages are 9" x 12". I attached the fabric with the example designs and one 7.5" strip of velcro onto the page. The 5 felt strips measure 1.5" tall, with widths of 2", 3", 4", 5" and 6". I added ribbon for visual and textural interest and each felt strip has a 1.5" piece of velcro on the back.

This week I checked out the Fat Quarter Shop 24-Hour Flash Sale on the right day. I found some lovely layer cakes I just couldn't resist. No particular plans for them at the moment.

While I was there I took the opportunity to also pick up some of the Cotton and Steel Basics, a Charm Pack (which was actually four smaller charm packs put together as a set), and a few pieces of yardage. Yum!
