Folded Star pattern.
 

My sew group makes handmade items for Christmas exchange. This year I used the Folded Star pattern (use to be free but now for sale) https://www.getasquiltingstudio.com/...tterns-2-final

They are really nice The fabric was chosen because the group was with me when I bought it on a short bolt and they all wanted some of it. I found the sewing notion buttons Walmart. I used four inch squares to make an eight inch star. I used Heat Bond Lite for the back of the squares. Very little sewing is needed. Mostly folding and pressing. I you need a nice handmade gift these will look great.

That's very pretty. I like the colours in the black fabric.

Love the idea. Thanks for sharing. I can see my small tree decorated with these pretty stars.

Such a beautiful ornament and really love the fabrics you used. Gorgeous

Awesome! I printed that pattern a couple of weeks ago. I'm making several. Love the fabric!

I really like those, I might have to make some later in the winter— too many projects still to get done this year to add another but projects that don’t take a long time and little sewing are fun in January/ February.

I wonder how it can be sold when it's an old folded star pattern that use to made decades ago? We use to make theses in grade school from wrapping paper. I guess using fabric makes them new. They are nice. They can be made to any size. The finished size is double the size of the squares used. My mother made a giant one from foil covered cardboard for her porch. She used it for years.

You can sell a pattern for a square washcloth if you can find someone who needs to buy it.

It's the directions and explanations that are valuable. I don't buy many quilting related books any more but recently I saw an old magazine style book at a thrift store, it's all about various folded/dimensional techniques. More of the overlapping star sort of thing but others too, sort of like this project. I love the crispness and modern-ness of Onebyone's project. Very updated from the 70s calicos and posies in artificial earth tones.

Origami can be a huge resource for quilters or just a fun secondary hobby. I recently got a book and I really need to work on turning tip money into fancy shapes :) but I did a lot of origami for years.

On my list of things to do this year is a dimensional bow tie, where you twist the fabric to form the knot in the center?? I remember it can be done but don't remember how and haven't a clue about the fabric cutting shape. But I'm sure I'll find it either for free or close to it when I do my internet search, but I would be glad to pay for directions if can't.

I have vision issues and I love my eye specialist. He has a funky fashion sense and often wears bow ties. I'd like to make a little wall hanging sized thing with bow times, some of which will be simply funky like his or he does some of the non-subtle basic dots, stripes and plaids that I have a lot of... plus somehow I have a number of fabrics with eyes and sunglasses or other glasses, plus I have a big enough piece leftover from another project that was designed to be a back, large scattered numbers plus glasses.

Here is how I make the twisted bow tie blocks. It's a great hand sewing project. Very addicting like hexies.

For those that would like to make the Folded Star(including me) the pattern/directions can be found at quiltingdigest.com. There is a video! The star can be made in various sizes, one color or two colors. Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks for sharing the link!

thanks for the link

Nice gifts. Love the black fabric.

I've been following Geta for a long time. Her work is amazing! I even bought one of her wallhangings. The quilting is unbelievable.

Thank you for the link. I have printed it out and will try it. I think they are so pretty

Thanks for the link. I Have purchased other patterns from Geta G.
I am always amazed at how some have the ability to create things like that.

Thank you so much for the link - I have downloaded it and will attempt to make this. Very, very pretty and I had not seen it before.

Gorgeous star onebyone

Very Pretty. I love this stand alone star.

These are so neat, like the sewing themed idea...So many other ideas come to mind also. I've had the pattern, just haven't made them, maybe now is the time.. ;o)

I didn't see the link and bought the pattern from Geta. That's okay. I'm only out 6.40. She's worth it! :)
Onebyone- I love how yours turned out!!! Gorgeous.

This is really pretty! Where can I get this pattern? I would love to make some for my Christmas tree.

Thank you. I just found it and can't wait to get started.

She is amazing and I love her new fringe tree pattern. She has lots of tips in her patterns that make it easier. And what not to do.

FYI: I got the shank style buttons to lay flat by poking a hole in the star and pushing the shank through and sewing from the back side.

I made a few of these last year and decided my quilting group should have 2 each. One down and 31 to go! What would be a suitable glue to help hold a few together so I can “chain” piece them?

Very nice, thank you

I like the Star and the fabric you chose... Haven't seen that pattern before

Very cool ornament!!! Where did you find the pattern? Maybe use a glue stick? I’m not exactly sure if i am looking at an all-fabric assembly here or whether there is some lightweight paper or something you used to stabilize the ornament?

Isn't that the pattern that Geta made?
If so, and it looks like it, she said to use a glue stick.
Very pretty! I plan to make some too.

I love the fabrics you chose!!!

Agreed. Her patterns are so well done. I have many!

I don't know how my picture got into OnebyOne's thread, I apologize, not trying to!
Anyway, I'd like to try the glue stick, hopefully it'll be okay not to wash it out as I don't think the ornaments will be washed. The wonder clips get in the way of the machine foot as I'm trying to do all the white stitching on several ornaments at a time and then change the thread color and do several of them, just to make it quicker.
