I designed New Star specifically for beginners, it's written to teach you how to quilt. The pattern itself is a fresh, modern take on the classic star block, but what makes it special is the free 8-week companion course that goes along with it. The course lives on the blog and YouTube, with weekly prompts that walk you through making a quilt from start to finish. You can follow along week by week or go at your own pace. Either way, by the end you'll have a finished quilt and the skills to keep going.
About the Pattern
The pattern is a 20-page PDF with fabric requirements, cutting instructions, and sewing instructions with diagrams. The cover quilt measures 66" square, but the pattern includes information on how to custom design your own size or layout, including the math to make it work. Skill level is beginner, and the pattern was written specifically to learn how to quilt. The blocks go together quickly and the result is a clean, graphic design that looks far more advanced than it actually is.
