Twinkle Lights Quilt Along Week 2 #twinklelightsquiltalong

|

Welcome back to the Twinkle Lights Quilt Along! This week we’re focusing on finishing the cutting and sewing six large stars. If you missed the first week of the quilt along, you can find some cutting tips here. And get your copy of the pattern here!

The large star is a fun and quick block to sew together. As noted in the pattern, I upsized my pieces a bit so I could trim my points on my star. I know many people are very exact with their seam allowances, but mine are always a little off so I like to trim so my points are perfect! I found this Creative Grids ruler to be so helpful with trimming my points because it has the 45° angles marked, crossing at 1/4″, perfect for any flying geese trimming!

Also, I’d like to thank all of our sponsors who have donated prizes for the quilt along! I’m going to link each of their shops here, many are having great sales this weekend after American Thanksgiving:
