Thinking about what I have done so far on the round robin quilt, I have concluded that the work needs some breathing room. A little space and lightness from the intense colors and diverse border designs will give the eye a place to rest. So for this challenge I had already decided to add a wider border of the light blue fabric.
I like that the light blue speaks to the blues in the checkerboard border while still providing much needed contrast in value. So I was pretty happy with the next prompt – Wonky Stars – suggested by pieceful quilter Wendy. Stay at Home Round Robin Border 5 – (piecefulthoughts.com)
First of all, I like everything improv. Wendy gave us a link to a wonky star tutorial, and I recognized the same technique I already knew and had used in my tropical fish blocks for Under the Sea.

The pile of fabrics you see in my featured photo will form the substance of the stars. I will embed the stars at various places into the light blue border, which I expect to be at least 5 inches wide.
Today I got started.
The first star is finished. Tomorrow I will start early and work in earnest to complete the round.

“A little space and lightness from the intense colors and diverse border designs will give the eye a place to rest.” I never thought about something like that — but I so understand it. It’s like writing — too much stress and anxiety without a break ruins the purpose of the chapter. And blue is always calming…..

I like to write – putting words together that match the ideas and feelings I have about the objects that I am making.
