Welcome, Guest

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.

Thank you Lotti for directing me to the post on basting. I have finally finished January and Febraury blocks. Had no problem sewing the inner circles together just the big outer circle. I was reluctant to do the hand basing as I have arthritis in my hands. As I was getting nowhere with the sewing I decided I would have to do the hand basting if I wanted the block to go togther correctly. Took me 8 hours to get the basting done and about 15 minutes to do the machine sewing. Thank goodness that's done and I can rest my hands for a day or two.

Check out the topic. ,Questions for Sarah - Month 2 (February). There was quite a bit of chatter on this problem, you might want to start back to front, I.e. reading the last posts first, as the main problem solvers are probably towards the end. [url]forum/sedona-star-2012/5245-questions-for-sarah-month-2-february[/url]

The questions for Sara topics are probably a great place to find extra info before starting each month, as most of the problems you might have, have probably already been discussed at length during the last year...

I'm seriously considering printing these and saving them with my patterns for when I'll eventually get started (in two to ten years' time).

The inner circle or the outer circle before I sew them together. I've never done this before so am a bite confused Marie
