Needle and Foot Fabrics was a fantastic sponsor of Project QUILTING last season. When I was contacted by Bernie from Needle and Foot to see if I wanted to create a fabric bundle from her etsy shop I immediately said yes!
It being an October fabric bundle … my choices are very autumnal with a bit of fun of course!
Starting from feather print and moving clockwise …
There are some really great fabrics in here and I love a good fussy cut fabric like Afternoon With Deer & Fox, Lewis & Irene Fabric. I decided to create a fun little block tutorial for you that features each of the fabrics from my special bundle! I couldn’t resist the fun prints in the feathers, the faux sashiko stitches and the dots! It’s always good to have a few fabrics that read “Solid” to help calm things down a bit … or at least that’s what I’ve learned!
Autumnal Star 12” Block Tutorial
Cut
(1) 6.5” x 6.5” square
(4) 3.5” x 6.5” rectangle
(4) 3.5” x 3.5” squares
(4) 3.5” x 3.5” squares
(4) 3.5” x 3.5” squares
(8) 3.5” x 3.5” squares
Directions
Make flying geese blocks
On the wrong side of each the Catching Dreams in Spice fabric draw a diagonal line with an erasable fabric pen. Place it right sides together on the Poppy in Taupe rectangle as shown in the picture.
Stitch right on that line.
Trim a quarter inch outside the stitch line.
Press towards the Catching Dreams in Spice fabric. Make 4.
On the wrong side of the Sashiko in Navy fabric draw a diagonal line with an erasable fabric pen. Place it right sides together on the Poppy in Taupe rectangle as shown in the picture.
Stitch on the line you drew.
Trim a quarter inch outside the stitch line.
Press towards the Sashiko in Navy fabric. Make 4. Flip the flying goose 180-degrees. On the wrong side of the Crystals in Burgundy fabric draw a diagonal line with an erasable fabric pen. Place it right sides together on the flying goose rectangle created in the previous steps as shown in the picture.
Stitch on the line you drew.
Trim a quarter inch outside the stitch line.
Press towards the Crystals in Burgundy fabric.
Repeat on the opposite side. Make 4.
Layout the remaining squares and double flying geese units as shown above. Sew together the nine patch pressing towards Afternoon With Deer & Fox and Nature Elements as you do.
Voila! The “Autumnal Star” is complete!
