Plastic Spoon Rose Tutorial. A string quilt block tutorial – paper pieced method. I’m so blown away by all the wonderful comments on my string quilt, now aptly named ‘Kaleidoscope’ (many thanks to Kerri who was the first to suggest it, followed by 9 others of you who had the same thought!)
I think it’s just perfect. And now, a quick tutorial – I had a few requests for a tutorial on making this type of quilt, so I figured I’d oblige (it’s the least I can do, right?). This shows the paper piecing method, which is my preferred method. To start, you’ll want to decide on the size of your blocks. Sew What: Woven Star, Lone Star. Well it's not actually woven, but it has the same look in the end.
First I took seven 1" wide strips. They could be any width, but the wider the strip, the bigger the finished star will be.
