British Patchwork & Quilting

Project book for the 'Sizzle Quilt' which was the 2019 Block of the Month for The Quilt Show. There is an associated blog which you may find helpful. Quilt size is 70" square. Nine different 20" star blocks, each with instructions in two colourways. 

A mixture of machine applique and foundation paper piecing. Full size templates are included or you can download them for direct printing. 

There is a section on both methods which are fully illustrated but may be a little confusing for the beginner. A few tips on foundation paper piecing are given but no mention of reduction of stitch length is made. Each star block has its own page of instructions; one for the cool colour and one for the warm colour. There are no quilting suggestions but the quilting can be seen in many close up images. 

A beautiful, challenging quilt for those who love foundation paper piecing.
