String Stars with Anne Baxter (workshop notes)

Description

This is a great scrap project where anything goes in terms of size and colour – but you might want to pre-think a colour pallette in the same way that Anne has.   It does use templates – but these are really easy to make yourself – and the sewing is dead easy too as the strings and strips are sewn onto a foundation base; Anne uses calico but you could use anything that is relatively stable – such as thin vilene if you have it (but not the sticky kind!)

Once you’ve made your blocks Anne talks you through how to finish off the cushion with simple but interesting borders and an overlap back.

At the end of the workshop you get to see a delightful quilt too made from 1930’s style fabric scraps – what can you make?
