- I LOVE this wonky star block and have used it in many ways. I've learned to streamline the process of sewing them together. So, I thought I would share my methods with you. This is a simple way to dip your toes into "improvisational" quilting. Get out those scraps and come play with me!
Love watching and learning. You do a great job teaching.
No wonder you are so speedy and efficient! You are so good at streamlining all the processes. Love that baby quilt!
You are a quilting goddess!
This is a really fun pattern. I really love the one you made for your guest bedroom. It is really lovely🩷
Thank you! 😊
You are so organized and have verumy calming and soothing voice.
Thank you.
Thanks for showing how to streamline your quilting. I appreciate any ideas that make things easier or faster! The quilt is beautiful!
The video is a little fast for me. I saved it to watch again. Yes, those lovely stars do twinkle!
LOVE IT! When I was in second grade for some reason the teacher let is draw stars on the chalkboard. I hadn't learned where you make the angles that cross over each other as most adults would do. Nor did I just cross many lines as a very small child might do. I think I drew the outline of the star so they were very wonky. These blocks would make a great addition to your Run, Run, Reindeer pattern. The baby you made quilt is simply gorgeous.
I love your childhood memory. Wonky is great!
So pretty. I love your videos. Thank you. 💕
Thank you so much!
I love how you explain everything and demonstrate everything, but in a much shorter video than some others do. Beautiful quilts! Thank you xx Deb 🤗
Thank you so much!

I need a quick baby quilt. This is perfect for my current mental state. Thank you so much.
Have fun making it!!
Love your style of teaching and positive approach to quilting and life!
Love this! So cute and it looks complicated but isn't, which is my favorite pattern :)
Exactly. It LOOKS amazing...but is really simple.
Thankyou. You explain this well.
Glad it was helpful!
Super quilt!!!!
Thank you for commenting!
What a beauty!
Hi,just to let you know,I've learned to talk to myself all over again (muscle learned) .Even used a few choice ones after getting started working on this quilt! Finally found it to be easy peasy and trying to make it harder than it was.I,ve truly have enjoyed making this one and look forward to getting it finished. Thank you😊
I am SO GLAD that you figured it out. It's an addicting block to make. So sweet!
Hope you intend to rediscover " Embroidery " as I would love to learn new ways to start into this again.Your an inspiration to my mind,happy!😂
Love love love
Great video! I love the organization ideas and will have to incorporate that into my future quilting projects. As always, looking forward to your next videos!😊
I love how you chain piece and streamline this block. Now I have to decide if I should try this one or do another string block. 😊
Maybe both?
Love your quilts ❤❤❤
thank you.
I LOVE your tutorials videos. You have such an engaging, no-nonsense approach.
Thank you for your direct kind words.
Love this!
I love this idea! I’m just starting to learn how to quilt and I love your videos! I also love the leaf/vine ring on your right hand, it’s beautiful!
Thank you Linda. I hope you enjoy and love quilting for years to come. It's so satisfying to create!!
Beautiful, I’m new to quilting😮 I will give it a try. Thanks for this tutorials❤
You can do it!
❤️
Thanks so much...so easy and no worrying about matching star points! Excited to try some twinkle stars!
I love the wonky, twinkling stars. I want to use shirts to make a throw for each of my kids. I think this process would work well. I just don't know how to decide if I have enough shirts.! Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
I would just start sewing and see what happens. But I'm sort of a free spirit like that. I would use a neutral background and then the shirts would go a LONG way. I do think you will probably have plenty of fabric. I read your other e-mail to our website. I hope this answer helps you. God Bless!
@@merrymabelmarket Thank you so much for the prompt reply. It is very helpful.
Wow you made that look so easy,
It is pretty simple. And fun!
I love making “new” blocks big the first time so I can see how it goes together
I will use them well. I like having extra blocks. I build comfort quilts with them. So making an extra block or two always seems like a good idea to me.
I love this
Love this tutorial!!
Glad you liked it!! It is one of my favorites!
How fun. I like the streamlining tips too!
Thanks a shearing very easygoing mathod😊
I have been making this blocks for years, wish I had known this way. Thank you for your help.👏🏻👍🏻
Came out spectacular!! Particularly fond of how you colored it & the diversity of the patterns used. So well done!
I love to make wonky star blocks!
I'm so glad our paths crossed...your tutorial is wonderful! ❤️
Thanks for your encouragement.
Love wonky stars! But I’ve never done the points with scraps. Now I will! Thank you! I’m loving your helpful and inspiring videos. 💕⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for your sweet comment!!
Looks fun!
Wonderful!!!
I love that you show how you streamlined it too! Awesome pattern and this will be a great scrap buster for sure
That's really pretty and so easy to make! I love the way you streamline sew. That's exactly how I like to sew as well. Thank you for your tutorial. I'm definitely going to make this one!
Enjoy!! It is truly one of my MOST favorite quilts!!
I love the quilt. I rejoice in your skill. I want to copy how you do things. However, you go so fast that my poor brain was unable to comprehend the concepts. Have mercy on us! You have a great command of quilting. I am going to watch this again and again and if it kills me, I am going to get it one day. I will play it, back it up, play it again. Whew! I'm in for it. Keep it up though....this is greatness ....I'm just not there yet.
Make just ONE block and you will "get" it. That will give you a reference point to understand the "sreamlined" part. Cut out 9 background 2.5 inch blocks. ONE start center 2.5 inch block. AND THEN....Make the wonky triangle start points. Pause the DVD. It's honestly simple. Just make one yourself while pausing through the first part of the steps and you will get it.
What a perfect video for sewing in chain ♡
Awesome!👍
I just found you and no wonder you're the queen of scraps. Love all your ideas.🎉
Wow, thank you! Welcome!
I am no beginner, but this pattern will require that I watch it's tutorial SEVERAL times over!! 😅😅😅 Maybe if I also had a written version to collaborate with your seasoned hands, I could eventually understand like you do.😊 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠
Make ONE block. Cut out the 8 background squares. The center square the color of the star. Sew the points (triangles) on the four point blocks. Lay them out and sew them together. ONCE you have made one block. I bet the rest of it will magically make sense. Best wishes to you!!
@MerryMabelMarket I sure hope so. Thx for the quick run down. You're right, if I make ONE Block, the rest should fall into place. I enjoy chain piecing whenever possible. I just bought the wonky star pattern from MSQC, so with both, I should be able to catch on. Thanks for sharing your process. I'm more inclined to coordinate colors and make it look scrappy, but follow a color scheme. I have several "Bee themed" prints in Grey's and Yellows. I'm excited to try it! ☺️ 🐝
I love wonky stars and have used this block for many quilts. But now… this method will streamline my process. Thank you!
Love this
The beauty doesn't get old. And I own it!!
I love how you organized your process of making these cute stars! Thank you!
My husband made me a big ironing board several years ago and I love, love, love it too!
That is awesome!
I LOVE this quilt! Thank you so much for sharing how to make it!
Glad you like it!
You make it look so easy! Thank you!
After looking at so many TH-cam quilters l was so happy to find your channel! I really love your videos, efficient, creative and beautiful!
I love stars - I love scrappy - what a great combination - subscribing from England
Wonderful video. I'm rather new to quilting, but this is something I could do with my already abundant pile of scraps. The king quilt is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
You can do it!
Thank you for this! You are so easy to listen to and learn from! Can’t wait to make this!
Oh my gosh, what a gorgeous quilt!!! 🪡🧵✂️💕
I really enjoy how you showed the entire process of chain sewing. I try to sew as much as I can without cutting threads and many times that means feeding through parts of the block, clipping the first sections so that I can join the last piece of the unit. Great illustration of block units stored in the small container. That makes it sew easy to sit down for 10 mins and get some sewing accomplished, even if it’s only two more blocks.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing! Today will be scrap day. Thank you.
Need more videos, especially for us newbie’s. Awesomeness
Working on it! Thank you!
Love this!!!! Definitely on my wish list to have a go at, it looks fab and the process looks very therapeutic too, thank you! Xx
I love it to.
I love this! I wish I was more organized!
A little container - and start cutting. You can do it!
Awesome! Love it.
That is so stinking cute. It's going on my list.
I really do enjoy your videos. your projects are great, and I always feel inspired!
Simply beautiful!
Lovely quilt. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Hey, I'm coming to visit! Love your Twinkle Star quilt design and your tutorial is awesome!
I love this! Thank you ❤️
I love this so much!
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Beautiful. Thanks for your instructions
Love the twinkling stars!
Love this! Thank you for sharing.
Love these stars
Спасибо за ваше видео. Вы мне очень помогли. Теперь я знаю что сшить маме в подарок, и знаю как я буду это шить. Будет большое покрывало на кровать! Очень красивые звёзды!
Удачи и успехов! Всем добра!
Absolutely beautiful! I will need to try this next. You made it look so easy. I do love your color choices.
Oh my! I’m already nervous & having palpitations- can’t wait to see all of this…😳🥵🤣😂
Oh how pretty, I love it too! 😅
Wow! New to your channel and since I'm a star fan, I just love these.
Thank you ❤
Glad to have you!! Have fun making them.
I made this star for a queen and I trimmed away all the back. I noticed you didn't and it wasn't too bulky. So much faster, no waste and more warmth by leaving it. I'm not going to trim anymore. Without it trimmed it is also easier to not get confused in the final join. Thank you for sharing this!
Yes, plus no bias edges.... Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you
Oh my gosh I love this video! Just found your channel. Love your way of making this video. Short and to the point. And your narrative?…I’m a new subscriber. This all made sense to me and my brain. Thank you for sharing this!!
Glad to have you! Enjoy making this block. It really is one of my favorites.
So nice thankyou
Your my favorite!!! I love this I wonder if I could use layer cakes for stars
For sure you could use layer cakes. I bet at least two blocks (if the layer cakes are the center stars).
Good Idea!! Ilike to User this star as enders and Leaders. Light background and and all colors for the Star ❤😊
Great Idea!!
👏👏👏🌷
I am smitten with stars! While I seem to excel at collecting gorgeous fabric, I really falter trying to decide what to do with it, which then leaves me upset with myself. I will study this tutorial and make this one!
I think you will LOVE this one. (I do!)
🤯🤯🤯
This is fantastic! I sew quilts for Quilts of Valor and this would make a beautiful red, white and blue quilt for a Veteran!! Thank you so much!
I SO agree. Beautiful idea!
I love the concept and finished quilt BUT...I’m confused as you go so fast 🙈😂😍
I do go fast. But because of the beauty of TH-cam... you can do it. Cut out a center (2.5 inches), and then cut the backgrounds (8 - 2.5 inch blocks). Follow along with the sewing process ONE step at a time. (Hit the pause button.) Pretty soon you will have a block and will know how fun this block is!
Christina I had to pause it too! Love her technique!
This is beautiful, thanks for the demonstration. What colours are the background fabrics in the large quilt? Thank you Merry🌷
A large selection of low volume pieces.
Wow i like this. How many blocks did you need to make that lovely King size quilt?
I can't remember right now. I think it says on the video. Just make graph with math of the size you want and you will be set.
LOL wish you can sew that fast
I need measurements! The blocks look like five inch squares, but how wide and how long are the strips of star fabric?
To make the 9 patch.... you need 2.5 inch squares. The center square is of course the star color.
As for the strips to sew into points? Just use scraps. FOR SURE a 2.5 inch strip would work. One strip will make at least two. (Depends on how you sew or conserve fabric.)
Have fun!!
i like this very much and i find even after watching it several times, it's way too fast. every time i watch i grasp a bit more but i really wish it wasnt so speedy cuz i want to make.
My advice is to try to make ONE block. As you do that - you will be able to figure it out. You can pause the video as you go. Best Wishes!!
