Finally it is ready. It seems like it took me forever to complete this. It turned into this insanely long blog post with way too many pictures, so I decided to make it into a downloadable PDF. It seemed much easier than of breaking it up into multiple blog posts.
I used my Sugar Creek fabrics by Denyse Schmidt for this project. I just love how it came out. The diamond blue fabric stands out amongst the others and the star pattern radiates out from the center. Very cool.

What can I say, I really enjoyed making quilt again. It is really easy to put together and a welcomed break from the norm. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and I would love to hear any feed back you might have on this project. Any pattern tester out there? I would love a honest review and would be happy to feature here on my blog.
Also, I want to thank everybody for the great response I got from the original Modern Folded Star mini quilt I made for the Mini Quilt Challenge over at Amy Lou Who Sews last November. Pictured below. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this quilt would get this much attention. I am filled with joy that you like it so much and even happier that so many of you asked for this tutorial. So here you go. Click the link at the end of this post and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Thank you, Ann! I love your folded star and have been wanting to try it. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI made one of these in the early eighties when I first was exploring quilting. I hadn't thought about the technique for a long time. Thanks for the great tutorial- perhaps I will make another one some day.

ReplyDeletethank you so much. this is a really cute idea, I'll be making one soon.
ReplyDeleteThat came out great, thanks! Do you have any suggestions on how you could make it square? I have a similar pattern for a small folded star potholder and was curious if you could make it into a pillow top. Thanks again!

I love it in solids. Can't wait to see what others come up with.
ReplyDeleteThis design may have been around since the 70's but this is the first I have seen it. The solid colours make the folding more obvious. I think I will try to adapt this for a curtain for my side door.
ReplyDeletethanx for sharing ... missed it before. gorgeous, both of them.
ReplyDeleteI cut out all the squares & laid it all out, then realized I don't know where I'm suppose to stitch. I can be such a dunerhead some times but am I suppose to stitch on the inside folds making the points & then fold the sides back over making the point, the inside triangle & do as just mentioned or just across the bottom raw edges of each point which would leave them a bit floppy?
