More on the Buggy Star Quilt




I can't take a better photo of the quilt as it now resides with DGS. However, I found some leftover fabric and also some leftover star pieces. I laid the pieces out in star formation so you can see how they look. Mind you, they are not stitched, so the design is not perfect, but you can get the idea of how a novelty fabric turns into fun when cut in the Stack and Whack method. The fabrics are stacked with the design repeated exactly in each layer. Lady bugs atop lady bugs, butterflies atop butterflies, etc. Then cut in the desired shapes. Bethany gives excellent instructions on how to do this. Each cut covers a different part of the fabric design and so each cut of eight pieces makes an entirely different design when sewn together.

    Quite a few ladies in Wisconsin is doing some sewing in this manner and it's nice to see the different blocks you get from one piece of material. Another quilter to look for is Sara Nephew who has a quilt book called "Serindipity" which is alot like Bethany Reynolds' style. I have some material ready to cut.
