Lucky Stars QAL Month 6!

Month 6 of the Lucky Stars Quilt Along!  This quilt along lasts until September and each month's post will be the first Tuesday of the month!  I can't wait to see your take on this skill-building pattern!  If you don't have a copy of the pattern yet, you can grab a copy from my Etsy shop or Payhip!

This month we are making a total of 10 blocks: 2 of the 12.5" blocks, 4 of the 9.5" blocks, and 4 of the 6.5" blocks using 4 different fabrics and the background.

There are 2 areas of mastery for making these blocks:

1. Half Square Triangles and Hourglass blocks
   • I use Clearly Perfect Angles on the bed of my sewing machine to avoid drawing diagonals, but if you do not have this, make sure you are drawing your diagonals!
   • I use Clearly Slotted Trimmers to trim my HSTs before pressing them open.  However, you can use a block-loc ruler or a normal square ruler that is larger than your HST.
2. Web Piecing
   • Have you mastered this yet?  I love web piecing for any block or quilt in a grid pattern!

I'll be doing a demo for these blocks and answering any questions THIS SUNDAY (June 6th) in my Facebook group at 9am Mountain with my scrappy fabrics.  If you can't watch me live, the video will be saved in my group for those wanting to watch it later. If you don't have a copy of the pattern yet, you can grab a copy from my Etsy shop or Payhip!
