Hi there! I disappeared last week, but I’ve been working on lots of good stuff! First up is a video tutorial for the Quilt-Along :
I hope that this is helpful for some of you! If you don’t have a pattern yet, click over here for a free download. This is the ruler
Yesterday we celebrated Emmalie’s 9th birthday – I am so blessed to be her mom! I look forward to seeing her grow and blossom into a beautiful young lady, next year she hits double digits…where has the time gone?
Tomorrow Modern Basics II starts shipping, and I will be sharing more about the quilts in the book soon, for now I need to stock up on shipping supplies.
More soon – Amy
Happiest of days to your sweet Emmalie on her birthday. The time does fly….so savor every moment.
LOVE the pattern! I can see this as a good scrap-buster project! I’m going to have to play… Thanks for posting this!
Great video tutorial – for a visual learner like me, that is so helpful! Thanks for sharing the pattern!
Thanks so much for the video … visuals always help!
Eager to get started…
Thanks for the tutorial! I got tickled when I first glanced at the title…thought it said “Dancing with the Stars” :)
Thanks for taking the time to make such a great video tutorial of paper piecing and your awesome “Dancing Stars” pattern. Plus, I loved hearing your voice again . . .made it seem almost like I was right there with you. :)
Happy Birthday to Emmalie!
I am excited about getting started on the dancing stars quilt along.
Good to see that Add-a-quarter tool in use! It does look handy. Now to get started on my blocks!
What size is a finished block?? I printed a pattern,
but I think it’s too small as the pattern printed two
pages on one sheet of paper.
Thanks for taking the time to make that video. I appreciate your work. It is so helpful to see the process.
Great video Amy, so clear and precise! Also what a lovely voice and hand you have! I can’t wait to start constructing!
Amy, maybe you said it in the video and I missed it, but where did you get that cool ruler with the 1/4″ lip? Or what is the name of that gadget? I looked at JoAnns this weekend with no luck.
Hi Amy!
I love this pattern. I have all of my fabric cut minus the background fabric. I have looked at it a few times to make sure I am reading it correctly. It says “cut 1 strip 9 3/4″ wide,and then crosscut into; 2 squares, 9 3/4″ x 9 3/4”, then cut on the diagonal twice to yield 12 quarter triangles for setting.
How do I get 12 quarter triangles out of 2 squares? I am lost.
Please help me!
Once I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
I have tried to send the Dancing Stars pattern to myself 3 times – but nothing. Can you please help? Thanks
