A couple of years ago we found out my FIL has Alzheimer's, changed our world. My hubs found a job near his father, we sold our house, I moved into an apartment, working for the next year waiting on retirement. My daughters college roommate was pregnant, having a boy. This quilt kept me occupied while I was alone in my apartment. Its the first one I did from a pattern, cutting all the pieces from yardage; no precuts. The name Wonky Stars came from my first attempt to do FMQ stars; no perfect stars.

This is such a cheeky little quilt. It is made from a panel that I did not use as part of a larger twin sized quilt for one of my great-nephews (who quickly got too old for Thomas the Tank Engine!!). I made it for anyone who needed to have a nap when they came to stay at my house, it has been well used by grown-ups as well as the children!!. It was my very first attempt at free-motion quilting on a larger scale than place mats.
