Tutorial for a Diamond Starburst
 

This is one of the most meticulous tutorials i have ever seen. Written by Grandma58, one of our own members, it takes us step by step through the process, starting with choosing the fabrics. :)

That is a wonderful tutorial! Now I have to try it too, no more excuses. What did she say, "If you expect good things, it will happen!"

I'm expecting my star to be fun and easy to do!:)

Thank you Patrice, very much!

Thanks Grandma58 that is the best tutorial I have seen. Thanks PatriceJ For pointing it out to us!!!!!!!

Patrice, Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial. I do believe that I now would have the confidence to make one, where before it would have been ify.

You Grandma58 are awesome! I read through the first few paragraphs until where the pictures started and then glanced at the pictures. As Gomer would have said: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Your explainations give reason to the why? and the logic needed to tackle this beast. (Did I really say that?) Your instructions and pictures are thoughtful, purposeful, and logical. Sometimes my brain doesn't want to work that way. I will try this quilt top since I have no further reasons to put it off. Thank you!

You are so welcome!

It is a great tutorial. thanks for sharing!

thank you! thank you! thank you! I have always wanted to make a star quilt , but never could figure out just how to do it. Thanks to you, I now feel able to make it. Your directions are clear, and the pictures reinforce what you are saying. You must have been a teacher somewhere in your life, because this is one great tutorial. I have never seen anything that is as clear as your directions.

I've always loved starburst quilts and wanted to do one, but never thought I could. This makes it look doable. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. What a great tut. Putting this on my list . May be able to make one yet.

"Grandma 58" - I have been following your tutorial, just wanted to let you know it is awesome........thank you for sharing this!!!! :) I am currently working on a star, if only I would have had your tutorial before starting, it would have saved me lots of time and issues, lol......

Thank you for the tutorial I am going to put this in my favorites

:thumbup:OMG Thanks you sooooooooooo much...what a fantastic tutorial...Grandma58 you should bundle this tutorial into a book and sell it. I saved it as a pdf file...lots of pages, but me don't care....

That is probably the best tute I've ever seen. Oh, my the time she must've spent on that - and all for us. Blessings upon blessings to you! I actually feel I can tackle one of these now. Loved your instruction on color choices too. Just a first-class job and then some. Kudos aplenty and many thanks!

Thanks for posting this. Now I want to go make one, I just need to add it to my list. I probably have the fabric, just not the time!

Ditto. Well said. And thanks Patrice for the link. I read the whole 2part tute and I've bookmarked it in case I ever get to that point in my progress.

I have a book, no one buys it, I say with a huge smile, however since I wrote the book technology is far advanced, so you have a tutorial and in all honesty the tutorial was far, far easier then the book, less time consuming, very little expense etc,. It was also fun!

wow wow Grandma58 what a beautiful star and thank you so much for this outstanding tutorial ,you make it look easy but i still think it would be hard for me to make this star ,one day i have to put on my big girl panties and try this one for sure .

I agree with smcfadden, I can do one of these beautiful starburst quilts, now, because of this great tute!! Thanks Grandma 58 and Patrice J !!

i especially appreciate the tips for keeping track of color placement. i have a tendency to get the patch placement mixed up when i'm working with more than three colors. i think i might have more success using your method. :)

Success! Yea!

Absolutely awesome tut! You make it seem so easy to follow and make the star. I've never attempted the starburst, but it definetely is on my to do list. Thanks soooo much:)
