This was one of April's blocks for the Mod Stash Quilting Bee. The host, Lindsey, wanted a block using teal and orange, for this wonky star design. I'm in-between projects right now, and my UFO's are looming in on me, so it was very relaxing to work with a tutorial that I've already done before. I hope Lindsey likes her block!

They designate what block that want and any other specifics (such as what colors they do or do...
