Watch me make this baby quilt
#21
Okay, I am going to make Unit 2 now. It is very similar to Unit 1 last night. But kind of opposite.
I am going to start by putting piece "E" onto piece "G" and doing the corner to corner thing again.
Mark it, sew down the line, cut the excess and press open.

Now I will add that biggest piece again to complete Unit 2. This is some more of "A". I will just sew up the side seam and press open.
This is all of unit 2. I did it 4 times just like last night. So now I have 4 of Unit 1 and 4 of Unit 2 and that completed the main part of my quilt top. Now I just have to cut it into shape.
It will start to look like something very soon!!

Ok, so now I am just going to lay Unit 2 face down on top of Unit 1. And I am marking corner to corner just like it is a big quilt square.
And once again I am going to sew down the line, cut off the excess (which is the not whole side) and press open.
This is where the magic happens and turns into a BIG BLOCK. It is 1/4 of my quilt top.

This big star block measures about 31" square. So now I just need to add a couple of borders and that is it. It may be a few days until I do them but I will post a pic afterwards so you can see it finished.
This was the important part to see in progress. You all know how to add borders already so no need to document that.
The book is
big one-star quilts by magic (all lowercase)
by Nancy Johnson-Srebro
and there are 14 different stars in 4 different sizes each. I used "wall hanging" size here and borders make it big enough for a baby. I used all flannels. This is a very forgiving method. There are very nearly no seams to match at all until you get to the last 4 blocks and then you just make sure the star edges are aligned.
Some of the stars get more complex and then of course there are more seams. I have done another one of them and it is at Charisma's being quilted now. I will post pics of my work and hers... when it gets here.
