FEATHERED STARS
FEATHERED STARS Main Fabric and Thread Key
The charts below will give you the finished sizes and yardages needed for the Feathered Star quilt with and without the optional border in all block sizes. Fabric selection tips:
FEATHERED STARS
Background fabric 1 and 2, will be consistent thru out the entire quilt, it is Copyright 2012 recommended that they be similar in value for best results. Choose two lights, like Yardage Requirements cream and the lightest baby blue as in our 8 inch block sample. Another option would be two darks, black and deep charcoal would be stunning as well. The background fabrics will let the stars do the talking! Stash fabrics, will change with each star, this is where the fun begins! Choose up to 10 “stash” fabrics for your Feathered Stars. The yardages given are plenty for you to be creative. Choose two colors, then have fun selecting lights, mediums and darks for each of those colors, don’t forget to throw in something unexpected if you are feeling adventuresome! OR, choose a monochromatic look and go with all one color. OR, choose 10 different colors. You can not make a mistake!
