Goodnight Star by Quiltworx – Zoom Class Series

The Goodnight Star layout includes foundation papers to make (24) 16″ quarter lone star blocks for a quilt that finishes at 96″ x 96″.

It is a good introduction to Quiltworx patterns as it is basically a one-block quilt — and you’ll learn Judy’s Strip Piecing Technique for Lone Stars — a component in many of her quilts.  In addition, you’ll learn many other Quiltworx techniques — from using the newsprint papers in  your pattern, reading her instructions, organizing and cutting your fabrics to name a few.   Quiltworx Stripsets will work beautifully for this quilt — but for Goodnight Star — each diamond will require one more fabric — suggested is a DARK blender of each colorway from your strip set.  (I have lots of strip sets available — check them out!)

Looking for a smaller project — the StarBaby pattern is a great option to learn the techniques without the same investment in time, fabric and money.  You’ll learn almost all of the same techniques — but in a fun baby, table or wall sized project.

Classes are taught live but recorded for your convenience.  If Tuesdays aren’t good for you — then watch the recording in the evening or on the weekends.  Either way — I’m available to you from registration through your last stitch – whether it is soon after the class concludes or months (and months) down the road.

Class dates:  (all live classes begin at 10:00 AM Central Time)
