Stars in My Eyes
This lovely 70" x 70" lap quilt is designed so you can place 6 1/2” square photos on fabric or other focus fabric in the center of each of the stars. If you have an embroidery machine, here is a chance to use a special design! This mystery uses a special technique to create the sparkle in the stars. (Hint: you might want to review our tutorial on Paper Piecing.)

Before beginning this or any other project, wash and press your fabric. If you like the behavior of crisp fabric as you cut, sew and press your project, try a little Best Press when you iron it. Take the time to clean your machine a, put in a new needle and fill a few bobbins. It will save you time later.
Read over the pattern before beginning. Cross off the colors used in the diagram and write in your chosen colors. Unless the pattern tells you otherwise, you should always assume that the seam in any quilting pattern is 1/4” wide.

 This is the center from Sanborn Janet Jonas. She is going to make it full size. |
 This is my suggestion for a full size - no pattern, it's just an idea. |
