Check out the quilt I just finished for the Quilted In Honor “Stars Over Sisters” challenge!

Entry information following the block turtuioial.

 

I updated one of our patterns by making one change and surprise…a whole new quilt.  You can make the same quilt with this little update. If you already own the “Phoebe” quilt pattern just follow these easy steps. Or you may purchase “Phoebe” with the update included.

Phoebe Quilt Pattern

Replace step #1 & #2 in the Phoebe pattern with the Sawtooth Star blocks. You will need 8 blocks to complete the quilt. Directions are for one block:

 

 

Cutting Information:

Star Background - White

4 – 2 ½” x 2 ½” squares  (8 blocks 32 squares)

4 – 2 ½” x 4 ½” rectangles  (8 blocks 32 rectangles)

 

Star – Blue

8 – 2 ½” x 2 ½” squares  (8 blocks 64 squares)

1 – 4 ½” x 4 ½” square  (8 blocks 8 squares)

 

 

Constucting the block:

Star points:

Lay a 2 ½” x 2 ½” blue square right sides together on the left side of  a 2 ½” x 4 ½” white rectangle. 

Sew diagonally from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the blue square.

Trim away the excess fabric leaving a ¼” seam allowance.  Press.

 

Repeat on the other side of the 2 ½” x 4 ½” white rectangle.  This time sew from the upper left corner down to the lower left corner.  Trim and press.  Make 4 of these.

 

 

 

Lay out the star block.  Sew the rows together first and then sew row #1  to #2 and then #3. Press

Block will measure 8 ½” x 8 ½”

 

 

 

 

I made all my stars the same blue but mixed up the white backgrounds.

My Tula100 quilt is at the quilters getting quilted. Next month We’ll post the completed quilt!

Happy Quilting! Jackie
