It's been a while since I shared a pattern here on my blog, so I thought hey, it's the first day of July and a brand new financial year (which according my my accountant is a very exciting time the sun is shining and the birds are tweeting, so why not?
I made my Sugar Stars Quilt a few years ago for a magazine commission. It was made with some of my most favourite fabrics, Flower Sugar by Lecien, and I love, love, loved how this quilt turned out. And so did the magazine editor, who bought it. It never did come back home.
Sugar Stars even made the front cover of the very first issue of 'Love Sewing Australia'.
This pattern makes a 74" x 92" quilt but you can, of course, make it bigger or smaller by adding or subtracting blocks.
I would love to re-make this quilt and was wondering if anyone would be interested in a sew along?
I wonder which fabrics would be as awesome now, as Flower Sugar by Lecien was a few years ago. Or I could go completely scrappy.
What do you think?
As always with my patterns, if you make this quilt, I'd love to see it. Please email me a photo (contact details are up top of the blog) or tag me on your pictures on Instagram - @sameliasmum
