Stars for the Australian Bushfire Quilt Project



Well, here are my two stars for the Bushfire Project. I've never made wonky stars before and it takes a bit of practice to get them wonky without the points being too skinny. Making these was especially hard for me as I don't own a machine! You have to cut through seams a lot to make them, which is no big deal for a machine sewer, but I kept cutting off my knots and having to go reknot my ends. But that's ok, because it's for a good cause. I will send them to Australia tomorrow!

They turned out great! I have a few more to make, then I'll be sending mine off too. Wouldn't it be fun if ours ended up on the same quilt!
