This king-sized quilt combines the beauty of a lone star quilt with the timelessness of log cabin blocks to create a stunning king-sized quilt.
The log cabin blocks are made with the Creative Grids® 8″ Finished Log Cabin Trim Tool so they all are trimmed to the exact size.
The lone star center is created with a Quiltsmart Lone Star Classic Pack so success is virtually guaranteed! The tone-on-tone log cabin blocks are combined with traditional colorful log cabins to make the unique setting design which accentuates the lone star beautifully.
Add curves to the final border with the Quilt in A Day® Scallops, Vines, and Waves Template to add the final awe factor to this completed quilt.
The finished quilt measures 110″in” x 110″ inches”. This would be a great series of classes and teach 3 new techniques along the way.
This 4-1/2″ Hexie cuts four different shapes, all from strips, and all easy to follow. Shapes include a 4-1/2″ hexagon, a 4-1/2″ half hexagon, a 2-1/2″ triangle, and a 2-1/2″ diamond.
Some features include: • Easy to read markings. • Ruler design automatically cuts off the dog ears so lining up the pieces for sewing is fun, easy, and incredibly accurate. • Comes with fully illustrated step by step instructions. • Scan the QR Code printed on insert to view a how-to video of these features and to see the projects that can be made with this tool. • The ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then our exclusive grip holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts.
