Oh, My Stars!

Supply List

Instructor: Marci Baker

Class Description: When you wish upon a star!

Now you can do more than dream about making

a sensational stars quilt.

Learn how traditional designs come together using

rotary cutting and strip-piecing method without

set-in seams to make a dazzling star quilts!

The possibilities for this quilt are endless just by changing

the layout and color selections.

Come to the class and see how easy it is

and soon you’ll be snuggling under the stars!

Fabric Selection: In each star two fabric are used and these

should be relatively close in value. Choose fabrics with high

contrasts; for example, to make the stars pop you want the stars to

be in a dark fabric on a light background OR light stars on a dark

background.

Supplies

• “Oh My Stars” book, available at class.

• Rotary cutter, ruler (6” x 12”), and mat

• 60 degree, 8" Clearview™ Triangle, recommended, available at class.

• Piece of flannel or batting for design wall.2’ x 3’, optional

Appropriately named, the quilt on the right was made by a first-time

quilter. Anita stitched a striking blue-violet combination that could be

used as a wall hanging or table runner. She proudly scored another “first” in

her belt by hand-quilting this piece. While the stars are a traditional pattern,

the border gives it a contemporary flair that would look great at home or

work. Overall, this is a wonderful skill-building design for any first-time

quilter.

The quilt on the left is a great example of how color choices affect the finished

product. I also decided to take on a different perspective by machine-quilting

my project. I accentuated each section of the border and then outlined

around the stars using a satin stitch. Wherever you plan to put this quilt,

you can make a bold or subtle piece to your room’s best advantage depending

upon the color and quilting selections you make.

Choose values close together with S2 slightly darker than S1. For the

background pick a value significantly different than the star fabrics. This

contrast will make the stars pop!

the 22nd Annual Show in Lincoln, Nebraska. in June 1991. The third Saturday in March is officially designated as
