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)
Quiltworx 101 – pre-recorded introduction to Quiltworx Patterns / Projects – on your own

Prep & Fabric Cutting Session — pre-recorded so you can access as you are preparing your papers and fabrics
Session #2: January 24 — we will orgainze our Lone Star Fabrics and then start Phase 1 of the sewing of these
Session #3: February 14 — Phase 2 of the Lone Star Diamond Blocks — putting your Diamond Strip Sets back together again
Session #4: February 28 — Assemblying your quilt top!
This quilt goes together so quickly you’ll want to make 2! For those doing StarBaby — You’ll attend the same sessions — but will have much less sewing between classes. Once you have learned this technique — dozens of Quiltworx quilt patterns are ready and waiting for you including: Zen Garden, Prismatic Star, Rainbow Crystal, Tattered Star, Sparkle and many more! And this is a fundamental component of many other quilts. So join me and put another Quiltworx Technique in your Quilting Tool Box!
Kathy is an amazing instructor! Don’t miss an opportunity to learn from one of the best! I’ve taken two of her classes. I live in Indiana, but I would fly to Texas to take another class from her!
Very happy with my poinsettia quilt! Thank you Kathy for a great class!
