Luminary Quilt Class Description

Join us for an exciting and creative quilting journey as we explore the art of making the stunning Luminary Quilt! In this class, you'll learn to craft a modern, eye-catching quilt using strip sets and improvisational cuts to form beautiful diamond shapes that come together to create a striking half-star design.

Class Details:

• • Skill Level: Confident Beginner (Participants should be comfortable using a rotary cutter and sewing machine)
  • Pattern Included
  • Finished Size: 42 inches x 55 inches
  • Materials Needed:
  • Star Fabrics: For a custom color scheme: 30 strips (2 ½ inches wide), 40 squares (10 inches), a fat eighth bundle (18 fabrics) or the equivalent in scraps.
  • Background Fabric: A 2-yard cut of background fabric may be purchased from The Sewing Labs for $14 or you may provide your own. You may want to wait to decide on a background fabric until you've begun piecing your star fabrics.

By the end of this class, you'll have created a beautiful quilt top that is ready for quilting, and you’ll have a fun, modern piece to showcase!
