Seeing Stars Sew Along

by Mandi Persell

I’m really excited to announce that I'm hosting the Seeing Stars Sew Along!  I’ve participated in numerous sew alongs over the last couple of years but this is my first time hosting one. I recently did a poll on Instagram and most preferred a longer sew along with fewer blocks each week so we'll take this one nice and slow.

You can RSVP for the sew along here

Seeing Stars is a fat quarter friendly quilt. The pattern is well written by my good friend Lindsey over at Primrose Cottage Quilts.  I've made several of her patterns and they are easy to follow with great graphics so I'm confident you will LOVE this one.

Seeing Stars can be completed regardless of your experience. There are some points to match up that may challenge the perfectionist in you.

 Supplies and Fabric Requirements

  • You'll need the Seeing Stars Quilt Pattern.  Order the PDF pattern HERE or the paper pattern HERE.

  • I recommend using a 4.5 inch (or larger) Bloc Loc ruler for squaring up the half square triangle blocks. This is NOT required but will make things easier. You can purchase a Bloc Loc ruler HERE.

Merchandise and Giveaways

  • There will be weekly giveaways (including a variety of fabrics, patterns, and supplies), instructions on how to enter the giveaways will be in the weekly emails and blog posts.

Pattern Error

  • There is one error in the pattern.  On page 1 under "From background fabric" the last instruction should be to cut 12 (not 10) 5" x WOF strips and then subcut those into 96 5" squares.

 

Please feel free to email me (sewcialstitch@yahoo.com) with any questions you may have.

I’m excited to see all of the quilts come together.  Here's a quick informal intro video from me to you! 

HAPPY QUILTING!
