Wonky Star Cat Bed

flimsy

I'm planning on making a large Wonky Star quilt for an engagement present, but I wanted to try it out first to see if it was going to be too problematic or time consuming (I find offset patterns a bit more confusing to work with than things that just go together in nice strips and blocks).

After seeing a lovely Wonky Star memorial quilt at from the blue chair blog, I decided to do the big quilt in a similar layout.  For the cat bed I was just improvising the layout.

I got my Wonky Star tutorial at The Silly BooDilly blog, and for the cat bed I used 3" squares for smaller stars.  I'm not a big fan of red so I thought this would be a good way to use up a chunk of the material I had in that color.

I just winged the assembly of the pet bed, used a few layers of batting for the bottom & strips of the thick felt left over from my ironing pad replacement for the sides.  A bit floppier than I like, but the cats don't seem to care.
