I want to use a cream color for the background, probably a muslin....a solid color for the star points....and two more solids for the HST. The pattern gives me how many I need of each piece, but not how much in yardage. Has anyone ever figured out how much you would need?
This is a lovely quilt,but I sure wouldn't call it beginner friendly. Bonnie has some much easier patterns on her site.
Speaking as someone who loves a challenge I would not have wanted that one to be my first. Actually, my first was a log cabin and I still love them. Bonnies scrappy trips around the world is a fabulous pattern. I made one totally scrappy and another from 7 pieces I bought together from a group.
