Star Spin that I learned from Roolan's Tute
 

This is a Star Spin I made as a gift for a friend. It's 41" across, hope it's not too big for her table. I've made several and finally learned to construct them just as I would a pinwheel, then the centers match more evenly. Those pesky corners are still a problem, you just have to mess with them. My latest improvements on my technique are to get the strips sewed together, (1) press well, (2) STARCH them well (3) then cut. I don't have any of the "fancy" rulers, I just use the lines on my cutting board and long rulers. I imagine you could get greater accuracy with the other rulers. [ATTACH=CONFIG]299095[/ATTACH]

Very nice. I have had that pattern for about 25 years but have never made it up. Saw one on this Board a few weeks ago done in Christmas colors that was also stunning. So I may get to it this year.

wow that is great you did a super job. thanks for sharing. blessings ogama

Wow they look 3d to me... So awesome... Excellent job- even with out the specialty rulers!!!

Great fabrics and scrappy look. No two alike is very appealing.

That is beautiful! I love your colors. From here it looks perfect! Well done.

Gorgeous! I have this pattern too, but haven't used it yet. I see so many different color combinations and they all look good, but I'm a bit intimidated to start.

wow,,,it looks like Greeting cards all fanned out...how happy is that?

Very pretty!!! Mine is still waiting for binding!

I love that pattern. Very nice!

WOW - Nice job. I would like to do on of these some day.

Nicely done, it's beautiful.

Very nicely done! I'm sure your friend will love it.

Beautiful. Looks like post cards fanned out!

I love your mix and match fabric choices. Very charming.

you did a great job

Beautiful. Love the colours

Great job, and it looks 3D to me too!!!

Wow! Sew very pretty! :)

Your Star Spin is delightful. I tried to find the Roolan tutorial you mentioned, but couldn't locate it. Would you be so kind as to post where it is found? I'd love to try making one.

That's beautiful! Great colors

Very pretty. You did a great job on it.

Hi JudyMN, I've had other requests too, and I've searched my socks off on this site with no results. Sooooo... I just messaged our wonderful "board master" (or whatever the technical term is for this amazing person....) and asked for help for all of us! Perhaps we can find "roolan" again and ask her to repost her tute.

Excellent Job:thumbup:

Fantastic!!

Wow I really like how each section is a set of different fabrics. I have made three of these and I really like your more scrappy approach. I will have to make one. Thanks for sharing.

Great Analogy.....fanned out greeting cards. I agree and think it is ver nice looking. Job well done!

Awesome colors an just a great star. Guess I am going to have to break down and make one.thanks for sharing. joyce j

Love that pattern and your work is very stunning!

Dolly it is nice to know this can be done without purchasing all the fancy rulers and such.
I have had it on my to do list for some time now. I will move it higher up on my list. Especically since I have my fabrics waiting.

I do not know about anyone else but I do not enjoy getting into a new project and have to purchase a bazillion things to get it done. Good quality threads and fabric prices are getting way too high for this gal.

wow it looks fantastic

nice job..I like it.

Very nice...I will check out the Tutorial now!

Beautiful table topper and I absolutely love your material choices. Kelela

Very very pretty!

Very pretty choice of colors. It looks wonderful to me.

Wow! You did a great job. Your Star Spin is beautiful. Love it.
