Star Quilt-Along, week 5

So, it's clear that I need to iron this. Again. I did iron it once, but my iron is having issues. If it has water in it, it just steams. The function to turn it off doesn't work, so I can either have a shoddy ironing job or burned fingers. You can see which one I chose.

The pink and white leaves are Max & Nobie for Moda. I think the line is just called Pink and Brown. Very apt name. The darker pink is just some scrap I found in the bag I'm pulling stuff from for my pink and brown Ohio Star quilt. I thought it matched well enough.

I'm sure you're sick of these block of the month blocks. I'll try to put something more interesting on here next. If I can find it.

As an aside, I have five boys and only two girls, so why on earth are most of quilts pink? My poor boys have to choose which girly quilt to snuggle under. They have their own boyish quilts, but those mostly stay upstairs. The ones that are in my quilt basket are pretty much all girly. Poor guys. I'll have to do something about that. Jill sent me all those great boy prints. Hmmm . . . (strokes chin) Have a fun day!
