JBCorson Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hi, I have two eight pointed star shaped quilt tops to quilt. I have never worked on anything that wasn't square, so am wondering how to proceed to make it flat and quilt it without a mess. Any info would be much appreciated!

Liam Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 You could try Bonnie Botts' starch n' steam method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I would mark the backing..a line all the way across, a line perpendicular to that, then a line bisecting each of those quadrants. Make sure your marks will extend far enough out that they will show beyond the batting. Lay the batting on the backing, then lay your star shaped quilt top on, lining up the points of your stars with your marked lines using a ruler. Pin in place. I would check the accuracy of my pinning by measuring the distance from the star tips to the center on each star point and check with a square ruler to make sure I have kept it square...then add a PITA charge on the invoice!
