Week of Oct 2 – Catch up & Basting Your Quilt

I love including quilting suggestions in my patterns so that you can actually FINISH your quilt! Here’s a close-up detail of the quick and easy loopy stars motif I stitched in the black/white/grey version. I’ll be sharing tips on exactly how I did this in the bonus machine video, so stay tuned!

Then I re-imagined those motifs as a denser design in my Americana version with echoed stars and swirls! I’ll share how I came up with the quilting plan for this one in the video as well, so you’ll have lots of options to choose from!

Dancing Stars Supplies Needed

See the back pattern cover for a list of yardage requirements. In addition, you’ll need basic cutting and sewing supplies. I recommend pre-washing and starching your fat quarters. You can zig zag the edges or wash them in a small garment mesh bag to prevent fraying.
Although the quilt along itself is free, you’ll need a copy of the quilt pattern to make this quilt. You can ask for it from your favorite quilt shop. They can order it from Riley Blake Designs, or Checker Distributors.
If you can’t find it locally, you can always get a copy of the quilt pattern from me, either as a printed hardcopy or instant PDF download.
Your “can-do” attitude. This is going to be fun!!
