We will be making the center four stars in class. The pieces must be cut before class. I like to use a separate zip-loc bag for each star. Label each bag. Complete the chart using your fabric colors – it will be much easier for you to cut your fabrics. The stars outside the center block are all small stars. Cut as many of those as you can before class.– you will need 14 additional stars. Bring extra fabric! (See instructions on left.)

Course Description:

The Rangeley Stars have a complex look, but are actually very easy to construct. Using the Tucker Trimmer tool and an additional trim, all those complicated star points become simple to make. Just what we like! You’ll learn everything you need to know (and a little more!) about the Tucker Trimmer. And you’ll understand why I call it my favorite “power tool!”

Additionally, I’ll share lots of hints and tips on machine piecing, matching points, organizing, cutting and pressing.

Prep Before Class

We will be making the center four stars in class. The pieces must be cut before class. I like to use a separate zip-loc bag for each star. Label each bag. Complete the chart using your fabric colors – it will be much easier for you to cut your fabrics. The stars outside the center block are all small stars. Cut as many of those as you can before class.– you will need 14 additional stars. Bring extra fabric!

You will need 14 more small stars to complete your quilt. Cut the squares using the chart for Small Star Color Blue.

Cut the squares for class if you would like to – some students get many of these done in class. If you are using lots of fabrics, it’s fun to mix and match colors as you go!
