Christmas Stars Willyne Hammerstein PDF

Description

Christmas Stars is one of the wonderful quilts in Millefiori Quilts 1 by Willyne Hammerstein, published by Quiltmania.

IMPORTANT  I have not created a shape collection for Christmas Stars but the shapes are available. TWO shape collections are required.

Please order 1-inch Hexagons 60° and 1-inch Diamonds 60°

Willyne’s Favorite Diamonds for Christmas Stars

Willyne’s lovely design only uses two popular shapes, so you might already have the two shape collections you need!

The templates in the book are 2.5 cm (0.98 inches), very slightly smaller than 1 inch.

Detailed diagrams for assembling the quilt top are in Willyne’s Millefiori Quilts 1 book (the first book).

A Choice of Sizes for Christmas Stars

You might prefer to make this design with larger or smaller shapes. Any matching Inklingo 60° hexagons and 60° diamonds will work. e.g. 0.75-inch hexagons with 0.75-inch diamonds or 1.5-inch hexagons with 1.5-inch diamonds. Inklingo makes it easy.

Continuous stitching and “circling the intersection” by hand are perfect for this design.

The brilliance of Willyne’s design is in the way she used the shapes to create interlocking designs. She teaches hand piecing with a running stitch.
It is NOT necessary to use EPP unless that is the method you prefer.

It is much easier to print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo and sew with a running stitch.

On the other hand, there are 8 Good Ways to Use Inklingo for EPP if that is the method you prefer.

Love the lines. Quilt more!
