ABOUT
DIANE'S STAR QUILT KITS AND PATTERNS:
CLICK
ON THE PHOTOS of the quilts to see a close up.
Most
queen size star quilt kits and patterns will make a star measuring
60", which is the width of a queen size mattress. For baby
star quilt kits and patterns, an eleven-row star measures about
37". A seven-row baby star measures about 25".
Quilts
are pieced, made using the strip cutting method. SOME kits and
patterns call for templates, and the pattern for these are included.
There are no appliques in the stars. The Turtle Island star
quilt does have appliques for the eyes, however, or flat small
buttons will work.
If you want to make your star quilt larger, it's easy and fun
to purchase some pretty matching or contrasting fabrics and
add several borders around the star to make it the exact size
you want. First step: Measure your quilt before borders are
added. Then measure your mattress across and down, and measure
how far down over the mattress that you wish your quilt to hang
on each side; and add all of these figures together. Then subtract
the size of your quilt from this figure, and divide the answer
by 2. This will tell you how wide the borders need to be. If
you want more than one border, you can divide this figure as
many times as you want. Borders can have one, two, three, or
more borders.

COOL
IDEAS for creative people: You can use a queen size kit or pattern
to make your own curtains by using the two halves of a star
for the two panels. Baby star quilts make great WALLHANGINGS
too! Or you can sew a star onto your shawl, jacket, skirt, or
just about anything else! One really creative customer even
made a dozen baby stars to tack onto her bedroom ceiling. Awesome!

beautiful!
