The Dottie Quilt Tutorial

Dottie was designed by Moda. It uses Jelly Rolls or you can cut your own 2-1/2" x WOF strips.

The quilt in the pattern uses 36 blocks and finishes at 72" square. Since I'm not a fan of square quilts, mine finishes at 72" x 84" and uses 42 blocks. The blocks are 12" finished. The image below is from QuiltPro. I use this software to quickly test quilt sizes and block placement.

Twinkle Star Video Workshop

Twinkle Star was designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer for paper piecing. The pattern uses basic paper piecing techniques that can be applied to many Quiltworx lone star projects. This is a great introductory pattern for learning how Quiltworx lone star quilts are made in a small project that can be completed very quickly.

This tutorial includes 22 videos and instructions for paper piecing the Twinkle Star quilt designed by Quiltworx.

Fake Rail Fence Quilt

I saw a picture of a quilt in a catalog the other day. It looked like a Rail Fence block but it was actually made from a single fabric. The fabric looked like wood slats. I have some fabric similar to that so I tried it.
