The Lucky Stars EPP quilt is a fun and unique English Paper Piecing Pattern. The simple, yet bold design allows you to build your sewing and quilting skills, while still providing a big impact. Try this pattern with a little fussy cutting, or go entirely scrappy to use up your stash. Fabrics requirements are calculated using solids so you have a starting point for how much fabric you may need for the quilt, along with backing construction methods for each. This pattern is great for your favorite fabrics to really make them shine! Fabrics used for the cover quilt are from various fabrics by Libs Elliott, Giucy Giuce, Alison Glass, Andover, Ruby Star Society, and Tula Pink. Various black and dark grey fabrics were used for the “background” fabric. The cover quilt has a dark background, but this quilt will also look stunning with a light background.
The fabrics pictured here may differ slightly, from kit to kit, but will have either the black variety of fabrics or white (depending on which option you select) and an assortment of bright colors to help you achieve a similar look to the quilt on the cover of the pattern. Or, if you prefer to just add black or white low volumes to your stash and use your own scrappy colorful fabrics, select the half yard bundles. Fabric kits DO NOT INCLUDE backing or binding fabrics.
THE LUCKY STARS EPP PATTERN IS SOLD SEPARATELY.
The quilt pattern, papers, acrylic templates and other items may be purchased here.
Assembly methods for this quilt are: English Paper Piecing for the star portion of the quilt, standard machine piecing for the background squares, and a small amount of very basic applique to attach the stars to the background blocks (Lucky Stars blocks can also be topstitched down to the backgorund if you wish to avoid the applique). Very detailed, step-by-step videos are included (links on the 2nd page) with the pattern.
