do.good stitches August

It's my month as Queen Bee for my do.good stitches Nurture circle. 

I've always wanted to make a red & white quilt, so this month is the time for it! I'm going for a sampler style quilt with star blocks. All background fabric needs to be solid white (Kona White, Bella 097, etc.). I'm not picky, as long as it's quilting quality and true white. I'm fine with any solid or tone on tone red.

Because it's a sampler style, any star blocks will do-they just need to be 12.5" unfinished. Please make two different stars. I've included several sample star block patterns here, but feel free to use any star block.

My blocks:

Ohio star


Double star 

Here are a few star blocks you're welcome to use. Or feel free to find your own, as long as they end up 12.5" unfinished and have a white background! 

Happy star making!

  2. Can the red fabric have a white print (e.g. red with white dots or squares) or do you definitely want tone-on-tone prints also? your example seems to show a print with white, but you stated tone on tone. thanks in advance for clarifying

  3. Great choice! I love making stars with HSTs and flying geese. Plus, I'm thrilled to be part of a red and white quilt project. I've got a tree skirt under construction but it's just not cutting my desire to do a red and white large sampler project.
