Nancy, why not do raw edge applique with a fusible like Shades soft fuse, so you don't have to try and turn under those points? The applique done via the hoop will be raw edge. Just curious? Thanks!

I'm doing it with machine applique, but am only finished through May. June will be the first big test of the process since up to now it's just been easy circle appliques. I hope to start up again next year, but have a lot of other quilts on my plate, too, so don't know when I'll get back to this one.

My plan is to cut the shapes out of Ricky Tims' Stable Stuff using my GO, glueing this to the wrong side of my fabric, glueing under the seam allowances and then stitching the shapes on using my domestic machine. This worked find for the circles, but I might have trouble with the sharp points on some of the other shapes. To position the shapes, the paper-piecing templates (which I also print on Stable Stuff) have the placement and those outlines end up on the back side of the base piece. If I can't see through with the light box, I stick pins up from the back side around the outline and place the shape in between the pins. I don't have any pictures of this, but can take some whenever I get back to this quilt.

Is anyone doing this project with machine applique versus in the hoop applique? I'd love to see photos... or point me in the right direction!

I have only recently begun my Sedona Star. I emailed TQS to ask about the availability of the videos, and was assured they will be available for the foreseeable future on Sara's Classroom page. All the banter and questions and answers and helpful hints in the Sedona Star Forum will still be available. Make sure to download and/or print off every page of each month's instructions and templates before 12/31/12 - those will disappear!!

As for fabric requirements, I do not think you can make this whole quilt just from fat quarters. And you'd need a lot of each color of FQ's because this quilt uses a TON of fabric! I have only made the first three months and those pieces are not so large. But later in the series, some of the background pieces are quite large, and might be longer than 21". You will need some yardage for those.

I think it's great that so many of us will be working on Sedona Star this coming year... please keep posting your progress and pics in the Show and Tell!

We can encourage each other I too am behind with Sedona Star I think I got to the end of Aug then life got in the way for me. I do love it though. I still have Stars for a New Day in the closet I will finish both, as beautiful as 2013's is I can't in good consceince (can't spell) start another one.

Lenore, the patterns will only be available until December 31 so be sure that you have downloaded all of them!
I'm not sure, but if it's like the other BOMs, the videos will probably be available for a while. (Sue's are still available from 2009.)
The forum info will always be available.

Hope that helps!
Good luck when you get back to it!

I am so far behind on the Sedona Star (doing both) most of the fabrics from my stash...and from the Quilt Shops.
I am going to start back up with the Sedona Star after the Holidays and wonder how long will the monthly videos be available in case I run into trouble....will these messages also be available....so I can search some of the great information provided.
Hope someone can let me know.
Thanks a bunch.

If you go to this URL [url]learn/all-boms[/url] you will find the fabric requirements for Sedona Star. Alternatively, look at the purple bar that says BOM at the top of the TQS screen, when you click on that, you will find all the BOMs, including Sedona Star. Hope this helps.

I see the shoppe is advertising fat quarters for the sedona quilt. Does anyone know how many packets it would take to do the quilt? Thanks,Betty
