Lucky Stars Cutting Requirements

On to cutting requirements for our Lucky Stars QAL!  This is getting fun! :)  Also I've updated the original post to show a weekly schedule.

We each used the Happy Go Lucky line.  We used a jelly roll, layer cake and pictured below is also my background, binding and backing.  For full fabric requirements see here.

Keep in mind you can cut as the QAL goes if that's your preference!

For reference, these are the three blocks, and what we will call them.

Cutting Requirements
Cut in order, refer to diagram, measurements are in inches

Note with the star block you will want to use the same print (or same color of print) twice.  Paired once with a background and once with another print.

BACKGROUND FABRIC (2.5 yards)
3.5 x 76.5 (2) - borders
3.5 x 62.5 (2) - borders
3.5 x 3.5 square (72) - Patch Block and Star Block HST's

3.5 x 3.5 (90) - Patch Block and Star Block *see note below with Star Block picture
32 Jelly Roll strips or 30 strips 2.5 x WOF (we will strip piece the strips) OR 2.5 x 2.5 (378) squares. These are for the patch blocks.

Phew!

Star Block

Please take note of this block.  Notice that you will need to match up the prints (but don't notice that mine don't go the same direction :)  Each block you'll want 8 different prints, Each print you will use twice, once with a background fabric and once with another print.  It will just take a little planning when you get to this block!  We will talk more about it when we construct it.

Also Christa from Christa Quilts still has a few quilt kits left!!  

She's offering them at a steal, you'll get a jelly roll and layer cake.  So stop by to get your quilt started!!
