Easy Shabby Chic Texas Star

 

 The Pattern "Sweet Starlet" by Basic Grey inspired me to try the texas star. I choose some gorgeous shabby chic fabrics.

 

Love these fabrics!

 

 

 

I free motion quilted swirls. pretty pattern...

 

Here's a bit of a tutorial....

Sew your strips together staggered...

 

cut on a 45* angle using the 45* line on your ruler lined up with the edge of the fabric.

 

do this with 3 different strips. assign a number to each of 5 fabrics. 3 is the middle one.

123

234

345

 

Sew them together being careful to match the corners.

 

To avoid a difficult Y seam here...

 

add strips to the bottom of each diamond like so.

 

the pieces go together like this.

 

Then like this. with corners added so it's now a square quilt.

 

Gorgemous!
