Star Light Star Bright  Wall Hanging Tutorial

This is a tutorial for my Star Light Star Bright wall hanging that I shared on the AccuQuilt blog. This small wall hanging uses not one but three different AccuQuilt dies. I used the GO! 3″ x 6″ finished Half Rectangle Triangle dieGO! 6″ finished Snowball die and the GO! 2 1/2″ Strip Cutter die.

I had just enough of the batiks left over so I could make this wall hanging. It would so neat hanging in a cabin!

The finished size of the quilt is 22 inches by 22 inches and is also perfect as a table topper.

Materials needed:

You will need:

  • 8 – tan 3″ x 6″ half rectangle triangles
  • 8 – cream 3″ x 6″ half rectangle triangles
  • 5 – 6″ large snowball pieces
  • 20 – snowball corner pieces
  • 4 – 2 1/2″ strips for the border
  • 3 – 2 1/2″ strips for binding

Cut your cream and tan fabric into strips a minimum of 4″ wide and then use the GO! 3″ x 6″ Half Rectangle Triangle die. Place your fabrics right sides together so you get both angles. I am using the GO! Fabric Cutter.

Sew all seam with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Since I am using batiks, there is no right or wrong side. You want to make sure you sew the pieces together as shown. Make 4 blocks in each direction for a total of 8 blocks.

The thing I absolutely love about the AccuQuilt dies is the notched corners. It really makes it easy to line up your pieces.

Use the GO! Snowball die and cut 5 of the large piece of the blue and then cut 20 of the half square triangles in cream. I cut a strip of fabric about 7 inches wide. All of the dies can be used with the GO! Fabric cutter, I was working on another project and switched to my GO! BIG Electric Fabric cutter.

Quilting adds to much to the quilt. Lately I have been doing the lines in the background and really like the way it stands out.

  3. Looks great Connie. I did check out the post on Accuquilt, but for the first time today, I had nothing but problems on their website, both in attempting to comment at your post as well as 'purchasing' free patterns. I now understand why so many others have been complaining about the new site. Until today, I hadn't had any problems. GO figure.

    Anyway, you did a great job with the quilt. Very nice.

  6. This is great Connie! It reminds me of the night sky and somehow the animals in the background seem like constellations (maybe Alaskan ones, LOL)
