Big Bright Star

Saturday, May 31, 2025 1:00pm – 4:00pm, Marion Public Library, Maker’s Space with Kathy Boxell.

Join us for a workshop to assemble the Quiltsmart Big Bright Star. Beginners have no fear! This pattern is super fast and accurate! No inset piecing, only straight strips to cut – no angles or diamonds, perfect intersections and beautiful points! This star can be used to create a throw, a twin, or a queen sized quilt. Registration includes a kit which includes the Quiltsmart foundation material to complete one star as shown in the photo. You provide your favorite fabrics.

Space is limited so register today!
