BLOCK OF THE MONTH - BOM
BOM 2012 - Sedona Star
Questions for Sarah - Month 2 (February)
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.

Sarah, thanks for your quick response. You are right, there are no references in the directions for cutting patches for pieces I and K. I just thought others might benefit by a bit of clarification in case they wondered about cutting fabric for those areas. Your instructions are thorough and with the photos and videos, easy to follow.

Good morning! Sarah, thank you for the excellent tutorial on how to mark the fabric for positioning the applique pieces. When I read the instructions, they were pretty clear, but with the video, actually showing how easy it was, it looks very easy. Using this technique, we can get to the fun part (stitching) that much faster!!

Sarah -- my question is what is the best way to blanket stitch those tiny points. Do you decrease the size at you get to the point. What is your method for that little problem.

Thanks,Sharon inColorado

My first thought with Feb instructions was oh boy I am in over my head already. I read through twice then it started to be clearer, I am not sure of the fusible the only fusible I have access to right away is steam a seam will that work or should I look on line, I couldn't find a recommendation for brand anywhere in the instructions.

You will be cutting 18 pieces labelled H and 18 pieces labelled J. Each block uses 2 H pieces and 2 J pieces. One H piece goes over area H, the other over area I. One J piece goes over area J, the other over area K. See the very last bullet point on page 6 and more instructions on page 7.

I'm not sure where you are seeing any reference to cutting I and K for either color scheme. Areas H, I, J and K are all actually slightly different - they are not mirror images. I decided it was easier to cut 2 different sizes rather than 4 different sizes.

Sorry for any confusion this has caused.
Sarah :-)

I am laying out all the fabrics and printing out templates for month 2. My question concerns pieces I and K, which are the mirror images of pieces H and J. The instructions have us cutting out enough fabric chunks to paper piece all four pieces, I through K, but the cutting instructions only reference I and K. Just wanted to point this out in case anyone is confused about pieces H and J. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Hello Everyone!

I'm creating this topic so that you can ask questions about what you're doing in Month 2 - and so that I can find those questions easily :-) Please ask your questions outside of this topic first - there are lots of people doing this BOM who can jump in an help out with their expertise, and they might even have a better way of doing something that I hadn't thought of!!!

If I don't post an answer immediately, it's probably because I'm teaching out of town - or just plain snowed under with work. But if I see a post in this topic, I will do my best to get it answered in good time.

Hope you enjoy month 2 - I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the show and tell photos as they are posted!
Sarah :-)
