Judy Niemeyer Twinkle Star and/or Summer Solstice Quilts (At The Quilt Works)



CLASS DESCRIPTION
Twinkle Star is the baby sister of Summer Solstice, so you can choose either, or start with Twinkle Star and make Summer Solstice later. The patterns introduce you to Judy’s foundation paper pieced Lone Star method. The center star is made using 2½” strip sets (Twinkle Star) or 3½” strip sets (Summer Solstice). The strip sets are assembled using a foundation paper, then cut apart into strips that are chain pieced into the center star points. These patterns also use paper piecing to create New York Beauty blocks and a pieced border.
