Every month we show you how to bring one of our featured projects to life in your home. This month we’ve chosen to style the Star Blocks quilt
Style tips FOREST STARS QUILT
In her Forest Stars quilt design, Janet has taken cues from nature in her choice of fabrics to give the quilt a wholesome, earthy feel. Star blocks have been around for centuries and have a special significance in Native American traditions where they were used in traditional healing ceremonies. Here we’ve chosen our top picks of crafty makes for your home that will sit well with the natural, homely style of the quilt. ‘Star’ buys include a wonderful Loving Star tapestry cushion kit and a new book by Sharon Burgess featuring smaller makes that you can do on the go.

Down By The Riverside Competition
Back in May we launched a group design competition, in partnership with Lewis and Irene. Each group who entered was given a 10m length of the stunning ‘Down by the Riverside’ border print and the brief was to design a quilt to incorporate it. The entries were a varied and gorgeous mix of designs and choosing the winning quilts was a challenge. However, judging by the overwhelming response from visitors to the Popular Patchwork stand at The Festival of Quilts, we are confident in our final choice. Here we talk to the finalists about their experience of working as a group for this design challenge.
