Love the partial seamed star. Is there somewhere I could get the dimensions for that block? Really enjoy Quilty and the Fons and Porter show on our local PBS station. I especially like the chemistry between you and your mom.

These two work so well together to really have you understand the block or concept that they are working on, thanks

Thank you so much for this show. Have been always afraid to do set in seams, it looked so difficult. Now I have the confidence, it is so easy.

Thanks Marys for showing me how to do that- I’ve often stayed away from patterns that called for partial seaming-even though I loved the end result! I’m going to go back and try one of those patterns!

I have done this years ago but nice refresher.
If you shortened the ads and dialogue perhaps your instruction might be longer

Where can I get the spinning star block pattern?
Gloria, 8 months ago
Where can i find the exact pattern for the spinning star w/partial seamsthat you and your mom made? I love it, both in the prints and also in the shot cottons Marianne used.

I like the pattern. I’m trying to get a prayer quilt ministry started in my home. There is always so many people hurting in churches and Bible study groups. Even Quilt groups. Thanks for showing us a better way to put pieces together.

Thank you! Am working on a quilt that ALL my blocks are done with this partial seeming. It looked pretty easy, but watching this video made it gel.

I like the block. I was wondering what size of pieces did you use to make the block? Great show. I would like to make the vlock
Kim, 8 months ago
I agree it would be great to have the sizes of the cuts for this block so we could recreate this and try the partial piecing.
