Starry Tuesday and Canadian Tire money

It's just starting to snow here mid-afternoon on the last day in March, and I've cheered myself up by making a few stars for a baby quilt. I've been using pre-cut 3.5 inch squares and leftover blues, including an old calico print to make an all-blue and neutral baby blanket for the local children's hospital

These are the wonky stars laid out on the design wall. It will only measure 27 by 36 without borders, so I'll add wide navy borders to get it at least 36 wide. I'll back it with flannel and pillowcase finish it, and probably won't put a batting in it to make it more of a blanket than a quilt.

Wonky stars are like Canadian Tire money. I kept using the triangles I cut off under the star points to make more star points, so I never ran out. (Canadian Tire money is the loyalty program for that store ( you get a small percentage of the purchase back in CT money every time you buy something.) You can buy something with only CT money and they'll still give you some back. Here you can see the Wonky Star/Canadian Tire money effect in the small points in this star.

Same with this one, which has a scrappy light background, like the scrappy blue background in the one above. I was using whatever lights or blues were left to make the last stars.

Here's another Canadian Tire money example in wonky stars.

All in all, a fun project for a wintry afternoon, and the best part was I used up lots of old fabrics to make a pretty quilt for a sick baby. Win/win all around, dontcha think?
