I am excited to help you discover star and log cabin quilts by sourcing and creating downloadable star and log cabin quilt block patterns that use a variety of quilting techniques.

How to Quilt

Beginners may think that star quilt patterns are difficult to make. Not so. Most star blocks are easy. Take them apart to see, or make them big!

A lot of star quilt blocks are made up of simple shapes like squares, rectangles and triangles. These are put together in easy to make quilt block units called flying geese, hourglass blocks, half square triangles, quarter square triangles and the like.

You learn how to quilt by learning to quilt the parts that make up blocks.

If your quilting experience hasn't been fun, help is here. We'll quilt the stars, and the units that they're made of, together!

Check out the quilting party if...

• You like to play with fabric and need new ideas for a quilt.

• You want to quilt in your spare time 'cause you're always short on time for whatever reason.

• You have a ton of precuts just itching to be made into a quilt, but you haven't got a clue about which quilt pattern they would look good in. Hint: a star quilt pattern.

Sawtooth Star Quilt Block

Lots of star quilt patterns use the sawtooth star in their designs. Why? Probably because it uses easy to make flying geese units. And, the center square leaves room for lots of design possibilities. Add another star or quilt a cool motif. Get instructions to make it a 12-inch sawtooth star quilt block.
