Review on Discover the Timeless Charm of Elizabeth Hartman's North Stars Pattern by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I don't consider this a beginner sewing pattern

The pattern is cute but I don't like the direction of the cut because the background fabric is not the same for all blocks. Since most people expect to make four or eight blocks, it would be nice if all the pieces were identified the same way. For example, a piece of background fabric labeled "A" is the same size for all eight blocks. This saves a lot of time on the quilt. Another thing, I used the background fabric recommended on the pattern. Even after the first wash it was very stretchy. I sewed a second blanket in a different fabric and together it was easier. Another problem was that the cut directions did not dictate the cut direction for directional prints. I had to redo the parts once I started assembling things.

Pros
  • Finished sizes: pillow 24x24, small blanket 54x54 and large blanket 82x82
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
