How to: Machine Quilt a Bryan's Star Quilt Block

Let's get stitching!

Beginning January 1st, 2021! A WHOLE YEAR OF STARS!

On the 1st of every month for 1 whole year Natalia will release a FREE YouTube video, teaching you step-by-step how to machine quilt a star quilt block. Natalia will also release a 2nd variation of the star quilt block on 
Patreon; you can subscribe to Patreon to gain access to those videos here. (Patreon videos are not free.)



What You Will Need
Something to quilt on. Natalia will be quilting all of her designs on a custom Year of Stars panel; you can purchase a panel from Honest Fabric. Natalia will be stitching on the 51"x60" size in the Spring Picnic colorway.
If you prefer to piece your own top, we've got a Year of Stars Piecing workbook available for purchase here.
All blocks are finished at 12".

Batting
Natalia will be using 1 layer of Quilters Dream Poly Deluxe Batting.

Rulers
Natalia will occasionally use all five of her machine quilting rulers; however the focus in this stitch-along will be the mini 4-N-1 & mini Inside Out rulers.

Thread
Natalia will use So Fine #401 on the top and Bottom Line #624 of the bobbin.

Marking
Natalia will be doing some marking using the Blue, Mark-B-Gone Marker.
Natalia will mist away her markings using the Misting Spray Bottle.
