Lucky Stars QAL Month 8!

by poweredbyquilting · August 3, 2021

Month 8 of the Lucky Stars Quilt Along! This is the second to last month of the quilt along with Month 9 posting on the first Tuesday of September! 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 8 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:

Modified Hourglass blocks
- We are using a different method for these blocks this month to make 4 identical ones. We'll also be working with bias edges this month, similar to last month. If you had issues, this is a time to reinforce those skills.
- I use Clearly Slotted Trimmers to trim the modified hourglasses before pressing them open.
HSTs and Flying Geese
- These are repeats from previous months and you'll get better and better the more you make them!

I'll be doing a demo for these blocks and answering any questions THIS SUNDAY (August 8th) 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!
