new quilt block inspiration, now what?

[nursepammi]

Saw this in pinterest and figured it would be an awesome quilt block. I guess it might be best to use some wonky strips and then perhaps either snowball them or maybe even use a home made wonky drunkards path template? Then when quilting use black thread and stitch the asterisk in the middle of each? Any suggestions would be appreaciated!

I think you hit it on the head.... This is just the sort of stuff that gives me inspiration... thanks...B

I think you're on the right track. I think I would begin with a circle of white and add the colored portions in slivers/wedges (maybe use the picture as inspiration) and at the end applique the circle to a background and stitch on the asterisks.

Reminds me of cartoon eyeballs after a hard night of drinking! I have to say I did my fair share of partying in my younger days! Joe and I were sitting in our local pub tonight having dinner. The conversation went something like this...

"Yeah, Rebecca, you've gotten pretty boring in your old age!"
"Gee, thanks a lot Joe!"
" I wonder if the folks I partied with back in those days are as boring as I've become?"
" They either went the same route as you or they'd be dead!"
I about fell off my chair laughing! Sometimes he can be so insulting and so funny at the same time!

wow that is so 1960's. there was china with a pattern just like that, might even be the same pattern. Is worth a fortune now! Trying desperately to remember the name of the pattern............. It will come to me. Maybe

Ok not the same but this is why it reminded me of it

I had melamine plates from about the 1950's that look like that quilt! It was a pattern called "starburst"..but it was mostly blues and green...I love it and think it would be an eyecatching quilt! Hope you make it and post it!
