Rocking Around a Star Holiday Quilt Block

Star Quilt Block

It’s Day Four of my Star Holiday Quilt Blocks and I am having a ball! If you have missed any quilt blocks, they are for you, HERE

Every quilt and/or quilt block has a story and over the years I have tried to write a bit down about mine….Sometimes, it’s a few sentences, I add them to my daily calendar, love to read them years later.
IF your quilt is a gift, PLEASE do this and include it with the quilt when you gift it.

Finished Star Holiday Quilt Blocks are all 8″ x 8″, so mix and match them as you like

Start at the VERY Beginning to Learn to Quilt

The Quilt Ladies MOVING it over Monday

I’m in the process of moving things (how to’s, quilt patterns) over from my blogger site www.thequiltladies.com (the site will be up and used as long as blogger let’s it, I don’t own the site, just the name. Here I own both). I’m going to call it, Move It Over Monday. I like the idea of seeing, updating and checking all links. Hope you enjoy

Always remember that quilting has been done for hundreds of years and all the new gadgets are great.You can still do things very simply and fill your sewing closet with new innovations as your talent grows.

No need to purchase a rotary cutter and mat your first time out. Take your time and enjoy. I have linked, use or NOT, This post may contain affiliate links. I will receive a few cents if you click to their site and purchase

Things needed to start a quilt project:

A sewing machine that sews a straight line, borrow one or purchase one at a large chain store. No need to spend hundreds on a machine to straight stitch. OR Hand piecing can be done too. Everything is the same as a machine, but you hand stitch using the same ¼” seam allowance.

1)Graph Paper
2)Freezer Paper – Plastic coated paper, like the butcher’s wrap meat in. You can purchase it at your local store or if you ask they may give you some at your butcher counter

3)Glue stick
4)Iron
5)Gray thread
6)Ruler
7)Pencil
8)Basic sewing supplies, Scissors, thimble, sew riper, etc.
9)Needles – for hand piecing Sharps size 7-12, for quilting Between needles size 10-12
10)Sewing Pins
11) Fabric and Batting

My Book, “The Quilt Ladies” and My Etsy Shop

Fabric– The best rule of thumb is to purchase the best fabric you can afford. Always 100% cotton. Avoid loose woven fabrics. Wash cotton to check for color fast and iron if needed. If new to quilting it is always best to start with a light and dark color. Link if you like

Cutting – Rotary cutter, mat and ruler can be used if you have them. If you are new to quilting and are not sure you want to buy all these supplies try Freezer paper. It may be purchased at any grocery store. You will notice that one side is shiny, one not.

Draw the pattern pieces on to graph paper, the finished
size, the – – – line. The – – – – will be the sewing line

Add a ¼ inch seam allowance around the entire outside edge –the cutting line
(example – 2 inch finished size cut square 2 ½” x 2 ½”) Cut pattern out

With a glue stick. Paste the pieces to the NON-shiny side of the freezer paper.

Cut the pattern out.

You can now iron the pattern to your fabric, shiny side down.
This pattern can be used over and over. It will leave no film on your fabric.

My take on Irons: I use a regular old iron, nothing fancy or expensive, NEVER add water to it, as steam will stretch your fabric. I have two one for quilting and one for our lives.

Square – Cut 2 squares the same size (finished size of square plus 1/2 inch) example cut 2 ½ x 2 Good to good Fabric
¼ inch seam allowance, sew
Trim threads
Open and Press to the dark

How to Start Quilting with The Quilt Ladies

1)sew seam with a 1/4 inch seam allowance,

you may need to mark your machine with this measurement.

2) You can chain piece a few at a time

Cut thread and open

3)sew these together

Watch your color placement, sew good side to good side.

4) 4-patch quilt square
