Video | This month you will create the very center of the quilt– the circle and the 9 triangles surrounding it. The circle will be completed in its entirety. The 9 triangles will be set aside until month 2 when they will be added to the quilt top. There’s a lot of paper piecing this month and a little bit of appliqué. If you’ve never sewn a circle into a hole before, you will get to do that this month! However, if that sounds pretty intimidating, if you wait until Month 4, the instructional video for Month 4 will give you some tips to make it easy. |

Video | This month you will create 9 appliquéd blocks. These will then be stitched to the triangles made in Month 1 and added to the center circle. You will learn how to position your appliqué shapes exactly where you want them. This technique can also be used to easily position the appliqué shapes in all future “appliqué” months. For embroidery machine owners… this block will not be stitched in the hoop because it is too big for all but the Jumbo hoop on the Bernina 830. |

Video | This month you will make the first of 3 paper pieced star blocks. There are 3 copies of this block in the quilt. If you are using the Buttons and Blooms fabrics to make your quilt, you will see that the fabrics used for the star points have a stripe on them. The instructions for this month (and the video too!) show you how to align the stripe so that it is centered through the star points. |

Video | This month you will make the second set of paper pieced stars (3 copies again). Whereas the star in Month 3 was created as a ring, the star this month is created in sections that are then stitched together. Watch the video this month to see some tips for sewing the circular stars into the background hole. |

Video | This month you will create the last set of paper pieced stars (3 copies). You will also set the star blocks into the quilt top. The video for this month will give you some tips on how to create perfect Y seams – it’s really quite easy to do!
This month changes the pace with the first of 3 appliquéd blocks. You will be making 3 copies of this block. If you’ve never used the AccuQuilt GO! Cutter before, check out the video this month to see why I love to use it for cutting all of my appliqué shapes. It makes your cutting very fast and accurate.
You can use your favorite appliqué technique to create the 3 blocks for this month. If you have an embroidery machine, designs are included for you to do basic appliqué in the hoop. If you own an embroidery machine but have never used it to do appliqué this month, you may want to take a break and wait until next month to start your appliqué. The Month 7 video tells you everything you need to know to be successful! If you want to get stuck in straight away, you’ll still be able to do that this month as full instructions will be provided. |

Video | This month there are 84 simple paper pieced diamond in a square blocks to be made, giving a nice relaxing finish to this project. Check out the instructions (and the video) to see how I create these blocks without having to cut out any triangles! When you’re all done with the piecing, it’s time to remove all of the stabilizer from the quilt top. Invite some friends over for a movie night (and maybe a glass of wine) and make a relaxing evening of it! |
