Grunge, a Star and a Winner

First off, I am so excited that Tammy is now stocking Grunge at Marmalade Fabrics!  She just listed it today and I have already placed an order.  I have been using Grunge in nearly all of my paper pieced garden blocks because I love the texture and depth that it has, unlike regular solids.


I made this eight pointed star with pinwheel for the Stash Trad Bee.  Kati asked for star blocks, preferably paper pieced, using yellow and grey with Kona Snow as one of the possible background fabrics. I really enjoyed making this one though those points were very tricky to match!

And finally, the lucky winner of the Beam N Read is VickiT. I'm sending you an email right now!

  1. I love the grunge fabrics too. Actually pretty much all of the Basic Grey fabrics are wonderful to my eyes. :)

    Great block, and wonderful piecing!

  3. Your block is gorgeous!

    Good news about the Grunge! I completely agree about the texture of it. I got a bunch of it in a kit (I know, I know) and have been savouring the scraps...

  4. That's a great block, Amy. Nancy and I are really falling in love with the Grunge. We each bought some (well, maybe a bit more than some!) last week at our favorite shop in Henniker, NH.

  5. When I first saw the title of this post, I thought, wow, this is going to be some crazy non-symetrical block. What do I know! :) Love it! I do wonder if there is a way to be unsymmetrical and quilt!?!
