Oh My Stars!

These six-pointed stars are Strip-Pieced - REALLY! Plus this innovative technique results in fewer pieces to cut and more time to sew.  Each of the 14 projects is designed for frustration-free sewing with color-coded layouts, actual size shapes for comparison, trouble-shooting for seams, and pressing directions for easy matching of all the star points.  The many helpful tips for the new quilter to the quilt designers add even more value to this 128 full color page book.

What a dazzling array of quilts!  From starbursts to birds to mandalas -- these are not the typical Log Cabin pattern quilts you would expect.  The triangle and diamond units put a spin on the usual square blocks.  To capture these shapes more easily, the 10” Clearview Triangle ruler is the perfect tool to use in making your own spectacular design.

For a touch of contemporary, these quilts offer many options for the designing eye.  Layout, shading, and color choices will drive your skills to a higher level of quilting. The designs may seem difficult, but with the Clearview Super 60 or 8” triangle ruler what appears nearly impossible is definitely possible.
