Diamond Star Hoop Art Pattern

This pretty Hoop Art project uses an English paper-piecing technique to create this star design, which is then appliquéd onto a background, hand quilted, then mounted into a 12" embroidery hoop. This pattern would look pretty in solid or smaller design prints, or why not have a go at fussy-cutting identical motifs from fat quarters to create this gorgeous effect. 

The pattern includes: 

• Full materials requirements

• Full colour instructions

• Cutting Instructions

• Piecing instructions

• Ideas for quilting

• Instructions on fitting the hoop

Finished size: Approx 12" round

Skill level: Skilled beginner

You will need:

• Three fat quarters in co-ordinating prints – if you want to try fussy-cutting the shapes, find at least two fabrics that have interesting motifs.

• 16” square of background fabric

• 16” square of backing fabric and wadding

• Template plastic if fussy-cutting.

• 12” embroidery hoop

• Temporary fabric glue pen, which you can purchase here.

• There is a template included to trace off to make your own papers, or you can purchase packs of pre-cut paper templates at sewmotion.com by clicking here

Make sure to read the whole pattern all the way through before beginning your project.
