Valerie demonstrates how to create this traditional patchwork 8 pointed star using pre-cut jelly rolls and nickle packs.
To make the finished block. Valerie has used pre-cuts of 2.5inch strips, which are of course exactly the size that jelly roll strips are cut. Then the centre squares of the block are cut from the 5″ pre-cut squares – Valerie trimmed them back to 4.5inch. Watch Now+

Stitch ‘n Flip whole quilt with Valerie Nesbitt
This is another great idea from Valerie that is quick and fast. You can make this quilt in no-time at all and you will have it quilted as well!
You can also think about using snuggly fabrics such as cotton flannel – fleece works well too but you will need to control the stretch – and also you could clip the edges of the quilt to give it a raggy edge – so no binding! Watch Now+
