Join us on a new 12-month quilting journey as we bring you a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Sarah Vedeler. Sedona Star is a spectacular medallion quilt that features a beautiful center star surrounded by a charming array of appliqué elements.

Each month we will provide a photo and detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, as well as full-size patterns. Sedona Star finishes at approximately 88” x 88” inches. One version features a total of sixteen different print fabrics, including colorful shades of blue, pink, purple, yellow, red and gold; however, Sarah is providing another alternative color option and instructions for each month as well. Fabric kits for both colorways area available in limited quantities through the TQS Shoppe.

Thanks! This is exciting. I just bought a Bernina 830 and I also have the software and CorelDraw, so I should be able to get it put together with my own colorway. Can't quite stretch for the Go! right now though since I'm still reeling from purchasing the 830 and a cabinet for it as a retirement present to myself. LOL. But I really am happy with this BOM---thanks again!

I, too, will be looking for the pdf version to use in the Bernina software. Thank you so much for all your work on this!

I've noticed that EQ7 chokes on large complex files. Right in the middle of a step it suddenly closes or freezes. It might be possible to take the jpeg file into photoshop and color it there.

Sarah, thank you for the quick reply. I do not own EQ7, but I do have the Bernina V6 software and would love to receive the CorelDraw version of the quilt so that I can play with color before making fabric purchases.

I also plan to play with the cutwork tool to see if I can produce the applique pieces and if you have any hints for those of us who own the Bernina 830 and would like to use the jumbo hoop, they are always welcome!

Thanks for asking the question!

There will be a PDF containing the uncolored version included with the month 1 instructions. Now this is only a letter sized page (8" x8" pic of the quilt), and you have to color it by hand!

I can provide a CorelDraw version of it. Anyone who owns the Bernina V6 software (or a full blown version of Corel Draw) will then be able to color it electronically.

I did try to get this design into EQ and it basically didn't work! I got up to about month 4 or 5 and EQ refused to save the file. Not terribly happy with this as EQ is a much easier tool to use when it comes to coloring and doing color swapping. If there is anyone out there who is an EQ expert and would like to try it for me, I'd be happy to hand over the artwork!!!

Hope this helps!
Sarah :-)

For those who own Bernina V6 Software or EQ7, or other compatible software, would it be possible to receive the uncolored version of the quilt in a format that can be loaded into the software so that colors and fabrics can be auditioned with greater ease? Also, will there be instructions available for those folks who would like to experiment with the cutwork tool for applique, as an alternative to to Go! (or scissors)?

Sedona Star 2012 is irresistible! Thank you, TQS, for inviting Sarah Vedeler to offer this gorgeous quilt as a BOM, and Sarah, for producing such a gem!
