The Atlanta Quilt Festival is excited to welcome back to Atlanta the masterful Jeanette Walton. Jeanette lived in Atlanta for many years, moved to California and now has returned to Atlanta.

 

During her stay in California she furthered her skills as a certified Judy Niemeyer teacher, by teaching on quilt cruises and at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. Now she is going to share her skills with AQF quilters as we create “Star Baby.”​

 

The Star Baby pattern is fast, easy, and fun! The Lonestar uses only nine strips of 2.5” wide fabric. The strip sets are cut apart, rearranged and resewn into a diamond star point! Easy Peasy! Choose your background fabric and a border fabric and call it done!  32” x 32” (or 40” x 40” with optional border). Perfect size for a baby quilt! Choose your favorite fabrics and get ready to shine!
