■ Use a ¼in seam allowance throughout.

■ Press seams in the direction indicated in the instructions.

■ RS = right side(s).

■ WS = wrong side(s).

■ RH = right hand.

■ LH = left hand.

■ WOF = width of fabric.

■ WOFQ = width of fat quarter from selvedge to cut edge, approx. 21in.

■ FQ = fat quarter.

■ Fabrics are 44in wide.

■ Press all fabrics well before cutting.

■ *A selection of approx. fourteen (14) fat quarters or approx. sixteen (16) long quarters is a good place to start for this quilt. Jelly roll strips can also be used but you will need a little more than one (1) jelly roll. As this is a scrappy quilt, the fabric requirements for the stars are a guide only, but you will be able to cut ten (10) diamonds from a WOF/jelly roll strip
