Shooting Star mini quilt
Well, here's kind of a fun little surprise (maybe more surprising to me than to you): I have a new pattern available! The Shooting Star Mini Quilt pattern from my Modern Quilt Guild SewDown Portland class is now available.
I actually wasn't planning to make this pattern publicly available, but I've had so many requests that I decided to go for it. You can purchase this pattern as a PDF download only from my Pattern Shop.
This is such a quick, easy little quilt. Many of my SewDown students finished the top during our three-hour class time. Some parts of this quilt are traditionally pieced, while others are foundation paper-pieced.
If you're interested in giving paper-piecing a try for the first time, this pattern is a fantastic way to get your feet wet, since there are only four paper-pieced units total. That's minimal paper-piecing time commitment for a finished quilt! (And here's a great tutorial for piecing one of the very units in the pattern.)
I used V and Co.'s gray ombré print from the Simply Style line to create my faded-out shooting star tail. But since that line is becoming hard to find, you could also use a selection of 7 solid colors for the shooting star's tail.
Enjoy the Shooting Star Mini pattern! I really appreciate all the interest in it! As always, let me know if you have any questions, and please share your finished quilt with me if you make it! I love to see what people do with my patterns.
