Trip Around the Star Class

Please note: The incorrect name was given for the specialty tool required for the class; it should have been "QUILT in a DAY's Triangle Square Up Ruler." If you do not have one and are unable to pick one up prior to class, one will be avalable during class and there will also be copies of the grid for everyone. We will first concentrate on making the STAR block.

PRIOR TO CLASS:

Choose 5 fabrics for the star & make a fabric key

Press fabric (I use Best Press or Magic Sizing for this) & cut as follows

#1 - lightest - (cut 2 - 2 1/2" strips & 2 - 1 1/4" strips)

#2 - medium light - (cut 1 - 2 1/2" strip)

#3 - medium - (cut 1 - 2 1/2" strip)

#4 - medium dark - (cut 1 - 2 1/2" strip) #5 - dark - (cut 1 - 2 1/2" strip)

You may also press (again using Best Press or Magic Sizing) & cut your 2" strips for the "trip" per the instructions in the pattern.
