Circles and Stars English Paper Pieced Quilt PDF Pattern by Victoria Gertenbach

 

Circles and Stars PDF quilt pattern is an original design that uses an old technique called English Paper Piecing, (EPP). It's a great method for accurately piecing patchwork quilts, using up left over fabric scraps* and slowing life down a bit while enjoying the relaxation of hand piecing!
(Also makes a great project to put in your bag and take along when you are out and about!)

With this pattern you will learn how to hand-piece individual blocks using EPP, and how to stitch those blocks together to create a small 20" x 20" quilt top. (Just add more blocks if you wish to make a larger quilt.) Quilt pattern is fully, (and colorfully) illustrated with step-by-step instructions and includes helpful color photographs as well. Written in a clear and friendly conversational tone, with helpful tips throughout for your sewing success!

Skill level: Confident beginner, (ready to advance) and up. By the way, if you are thinking that this pattern looks too challenging... believe it or not this is my first EPP quilt! I learn by doing and I break everything down in easy to follow steps so you can easily learn, too!
