Stargazer Quilt Along

  

Hi, Everyone!  Today I'd like to share about a new quilt along that I'm hosting!

This is the Stargazer quilt.  

I designed this quilt a few years ago for American Patchwork & Quilting.

I really love this quilt so I thought it was time to update the pattern and release it!  

You can purchase the pattern HERE

In this pattern update, there are three sizes.  The original size that I released finishes at 89 1/2" x 89 1/2".  I added two smaller options to the pattern- Throw Size which finishes at 69 1/4" x 69 1/4" and Baby Size which finishes at 46" x 46".  

NOTE:  The Full Size pattern uses 1" finished squares in the nine patches.  In these two smaller sizes, there are TINY pieces.  In order to make the pattern smaller, the pieces of the nine patches had to be really small!  The throw sizes uses 3/4" finished squares in the nine patch and the baby size uses 1/2" finished squares in the nine patch.  Keep this in mind when choosing what size you'd like to make.

Let's talk timing!  Here is the schedule we will be following-
