The Big Star
 

Missouri Star Quilt Company has a new tutorial out for a huge star and so very easy think maybe it will be the pattern I use for my black and white prints and a grey backgrown color ...

I watched the video and it sure is a great looking quilt.

Cool, will have to go look.

A url would be nice, I went there and couldn't find it.

Thanks Valerie Scherr for the link. That is a great looking quilt. I wish they would give written instructions we could print. Hard to remember it all. I love Jenny's tutorials.

Jingle...I so agree! I'm hearing impaired so get very little info verbally and I'd love a hard copy in print. I've tried the closed caption option but I know what comes up then cannot be what is being said and still don't have any print copy to refer to. Does anyone know if transcritions are available somewhere?

Have any idea of approx. yardage?

It's pretty, looks easy, but not crazy about the method she uses for the HST's (even though it's the quickest). This method leaves all 4 outside edges of the HST on the bias.

What a nice simple pattern. Each block takes light dark and background. 2 squares of each. I think I will use the 10" squares. I bookmarked the video. Good stash buster

If my math is correct you would need 72 ten inch blocks for the stars and 12 more to snow ball them,you would also need extra fabric for the sashing and the borders. It will be one huge quilt.I think I am going to try a test block and make my blocks only 6 inches since I want to use fat quarters hopefully there will be less waste this way. I will let you know how it all works out.

Her method does leave the edges on the bias, but spray starching before cutting solves that problem...you should not have any stretching, I've done several quilts this way and have not had problems

Loved that MO. Star Quilt Co. tute. Gonna have to do that one.

Wondered what I would use some to those charm packs for. And now have a 'reason' to buy that Layer Cake I have been eyeballing. LOL

Love their tutes!

I saw it too and decided that will be a quick xmas gift this year...secret santa...have alot of fat quarters I want to use up and this might fit the bill....

Thanks Valerie, I love those big stars, but I'm so glad she showed the quilt she made with the charm squares too. I made a pinwheel quilt last year using this method for half square triangles. I didn't think I would like the method because of the bias edges, but it wasn't a problem, and it sure is quick!

We finally have the yardage available that Jenny used in the "Big Star" tutorial. It's called "Orchard House" by Windham fabrics...it's beautiful!!
