Countdown to 2021 - 12 weeks of projects and seasonal fun!
Week 1
Our first project is an oldy but goody. Let's revisit the Star Mat! When Sherry first started working at the shop about 8 years ago, she shared this pattern she had made up that she called a Star Mat. It's so simple and just uses 2 coordinating 6" X WOF fabric strips and a 2/3 yd piece cut in half horizontally (looks sort of like a square) for the back.
Use a 6" by 24" ruler and use the 60 Degree line to cut diamonds along the 6" strips.
You will get 4 from each strip (1 extra to play with).
Here is the link to the free pattern on our website: https://www.serendipityquiltshop.com/free-patterns.htm
Sherry has included an illustration of how to sew the diamonds together simply. These make great gifts for any holiday/season/occasion.

HINTS: Your ruler and your strips MUST be the same width- 6" strip and 6" ruler. Most common mistake is thinking your 6 1/2" ruler is 6".
We have several new fall and Christmas kits cut for the star mat pattern.
Choose one to purchase from our website or make up your own.

HAVE FUN! I just made the new fall samples and had forgotten how quick and fun they are. Perfect to send to someone you haven't seen for awhile- to say "hi".
