It’s a Classic Kinda Day: Star of the Night

Inside Banner20

Hello everyone.

Our Classics block for this week is Star of the Night. To create this block you will need the following templates.

Diagrams-01-01

The template kits for all my Classics are available through Sue Daley stockists and can be bought directly through Patchwork With Busyfingers. This block should measure 12½” when pieced together (12″ finished).

Many of these blocks can be machine or hand-pieced, depending on your preferences and what you feel most comfortable with. I personally prefer to hand-piece these blocks.

As I have mentioned many times, it is a lot of fun to experiment with your own fabric placement. Here are some basic quilt layouts you can try.
