This week we’ll go over how to best create the star of this quilt show!!
…no really, it’s time to work on our star block! This part isn’t all that difficult, but you want to make sure to pay careful attention to it as you work because it’s where we trick the eye into thinking our brick-style-layout continues behind the piecing.
My Biggest Piece of Advice
This week I just have a short and sweet bit of advice.
FOLLOW THE PATTERN!
I have lovingly (and obsessively) crafted this pattern to work when you read it and follow it! So, trust the process, lay it out just like I say and trust me! It’ll all work out if you don’t get cute here 😉
Getting Square Corners
I have a special tip for you in the video below & it’s a real blast from the past! This is an excerpt from my Starline Mini Runner Class that I thought was really helpful for this block. It’ll show you two different ways to get those corners to match up just right and there’s a really great sewing montage at the end that you can stitch along with for a bit. Enjoy me, me trying to hide my very pregnant belly, and my extremely short hair!
Please note, any time I’m referring to a pattern in this video, ignore it – I’m referring to the Starline Pattern. You’ll just want to use this trick in Steps 7—12 to create your star block.
