NOTES
the star is made from fabric cut on the bias so please bare this in mind when selecting fabric – loose weave linens, vintage linens & cheap cottons are not advisable. Delicate fabric such as Liberty Lawns are only recommended for the more experienced patchworker!
For the background, the design really only works with a plain fabric as the background as a plain colour best hides all the seams.

If you are a beginner we recommend that you learn how to sew triangles instead of the curves.
We bought white homespun fabric for the squares, borders & sashings as this helps to keep the cost down! All fabric measurements are based on buying fabric that is 110cm wide. Remember to buy good quality cotton fabric – it cuts better, sews better, is easier to work with & produces much better results!!

This is what you need to make a quilt that is 8 squares wide x 8 squares high (approx 1.35cm x 1.35cm). For the back & the front you will need 6 ¾ metres of fabric in total. This will match the front square & back square so the pattern layout is the same on both sides.

- 6 different fabrics at 1 ¼ metres each (this will give you excess fabric)
