Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own star quilt:

Choose your fabrics. The first step is to choose the fabrics you will use for your quilt. You can use any type of fabric, but cotton is a good choice for beginners. Choose fabrics that coordinate well with each other and that you love the look of.
Cut your fabric. Once you have chosen your fabrics, you need to cut them into squares. The size of the squares will depend on the size of the quilt you want to make. For a beginner's quilt, we recommend using 5-inch squares.
Sew the squares together. The next step is to sew the squares together. Start by sewing two squares together along one side. Then, sew another square to the other side of the first two squares. Continue sewing squares together until you have a long strip of fabric.
Make the star blocks. Once you have a long strip of fabric, you need to cut it into star blocks. To do this, fold the strip of fabric in half lengthwise and press it. Then, unfold the fabric and fold it in half crosswise. Press it again and then unfold it. You should now have a crease that runs through the center of the fabric. Use a ruler to measure and mark a 2-inch square in the center of the fabric. Cut out the square and you will have your first star block.
Sew the star blocks together. Once you have made all of the star blocks, you need to sew them together. To do this, place two star blocks right sides together and sew them together along one side. Then, sew the other two sides of the star blocks together. Continue sewing star blocks together until you have a quilt top.
Quilt the quilt. Once you have a quilt top, you need to quilt it. Quilting is the process of sewing the quilt top, batting, and backing fabric together. There are many different ways to quilt a quilt, but we recommend using a simple straight-line stitch for beginners.
Bind the quilt. The final step is to bind the quilt. Binding is the process of sewing a strip of fabric around the edges of the quilt to finish it off. There are many different ways to bind a quilt, but we recommend using a mitered binding for beginners.
