Jewel Stars Quilt Pattern

This fabulous quilt is made using a simple foundation paper-piecing technique to create half-square triangle blocks which are sewn together to make the Eight-Pointed Star and Ohio Star blocks. These are then quilted individually and sewn together using a simple quilt-as-you-go method.

You will need:
• Depending on choice of layout, you will need either 24 fat quarters or 12 half-metres in co-ordinating fabrics
• 60cm of a contrasting solid or blender for the sashing and binding
• Photocopies of the foundation paper-piecing templates - you will need to make 18 copies Template A and Template B, or you can add a printed set to your order above.
• 3m of backing fabric - this will be cut up into 24 fat quarters so you could use a mixture of fabrics, three co-ordinating fabrics, or the same one throughout.
• 50cm of a contrasting solid or blender for the back joining strips
• 1.5m of 90" wide wadding
• Quilter's Masking Tape - which you can purchase here.

PATTERN CORRECTION (if purchased before July 2025):

Cutting error - if you are making this version with the 12 half metres, when cutting Fabric 5 (Jade) you need to cut Three 5.25" x WOF strips, then subcut into seven 5.25" x 10.5" strips, four 5.25" squares and then use what remains to cut four 4.5" squares.
