Summer Star Sampler Alternative

Hello my quilty friends!
I wanted to share this picture with you. It’s the summer stars sampler, but easier! For this alternative, I’ve removed the center block which makes this version of the quilt beginner friendly. So here it is…..

Fabrics are Moda's  Fresh Cottons by Fig Tree Quilts

Beginner friendly summer stars quilt pattern


You will also need the Fabric Requirements (click the link) if you’d like to make this quilt. So I hope if you were intimidated by the original Star Sampler, perhaps this one will get you quilting with us over the summer months!
This free quilt pattern will be released weekly, beginning July 6. If you would like to use fabrics from your own stash, you are certainly welcome to do so, I can not wait to see all the different versions of this quilt!!

Quilty Hugs,
Bradie

PS. Tomorrow, I will write a post addressing all the questions that readers have asked about the Summer Star Sampler Quilt. Feel free to leave your questions, and I will do my best to include them!

Introducing the Summer Star Sampler Quilt Along

Summer Star Sampler Quilt Along

Join me in making a beautiful Star Sampler Quilt this summer.


Well my quilty friends, it is time to introduce the lovely Summer Star Sampler quilt. I will be offering tutorials to make this beauty every Tuesday, beginning July 6 through Aug 31. I will give you instructions for two blocks per week, followed by the center medallion, then borders. This is where you can find your fabric requirements (click the words!!).

Be sure to visit the Fat Quarter Shop, where you can find all the fabrics you need for this project. I am thrilled that the Fat Quarter Shop has agreed to sponsor this project by providing the fabrics to make this beautiful quilt. Get over there and shop your little heart out right now!! Have your fabric requirements list handy! You will need to order each fabric as yardage, this quilt is NOT available as a kit, but FQS does have all the fabrics you will need. 🙂 Take a peek at the gorgeous fabrics below….
