Thank you Jeanette. This is my favorite block ❤. So carefully explained.

A great video, well explained, and so useful to see how you handled the ‘reverse’.

Ohhh really like both choices👏👏👏 I’ll be excited to see the upcoming steps of the mystery one! Thank you Jeannette ❤️😀

[@roseambrose7971]

I can’t wait to try this.

[@carolhiller1112]

Brilliant tutorial! Thanks for sharing. What’s the secret to matching and keeping the seams perfectly matched? ❤❤

[@SewingStudio]

Hi Carol, Jeanette said if you press the seams to one side, put those together with the seams going opposite directions and press them together. Hope this makes sense, but we will make sure Jeanette goes into more detail on matching seams next time.

Well explained to make star but did not understand how to make the one on the wall.

[@SewingStudio]

Hi Marilyn, Jeanette didn't delve into much detail for the design hung up - but we will consider maybe doing another video talking through that version.

[@emmaray1625]

Please please tell us how to do the quilt on show. I can’t understand how it would be constructed 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@paulasturgess9235]

Is there a pattern for the one you did for your sister?

[@SewingStudio]

Hi Paula, we will be launching a video tutorial for the interlocking friendship star quilt very soon!

[@SewingStudio]

Hi Paula, this video is now live here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXyqeYeOd5KojKM

[@user-fm9kr8xw6e]

I have to unpick all the time. Lol

[@Poshfrocknfluffyslip]

So that block won’t make that quilt then?

[@SewingStudio]

The block was made for demonstration purposes, Jeanette brought in the quilt as an example of what can we made with the same block. The plan is to film and create many different star blocks to put together to make a baby quilt!

Don’t like your material choice Too dull looks same The quilt on the wall is pretty
