Circles and Stars PDF quilt pattern is an original design that uses an old technique called English Paper Piecing, (EPP). It's a great method for accurately piecing patchwork quilts, using up left over fabric scraps* and slowing life down a bit while enjoying the relaxation of hand piecing! (Also makes a great project to put in your bag and take along when you are out and about!)

With this pattern you will learn how to hand-piece individual blocks using EPP, and how to stitch those blocks together to create a small 20" x 20" quilt top. (Just add more blocks if you wish to make a larger quilt.) Quilt pattern is fully, (and colorfully) illustrated with step-by-step instructions and includes helpful color photographs as well. Written in a clear and friendly conversational tone, with helpful tips throughout for your sewing success!

Skill level: Confident beginner, (ready to advance) and up. By the way, if you are thinking that this pattern looks too challenging... believe it or not this is my first EPP quilt! I learn by doing and I break everything down in easy to follow steps so you can easily learn, too!
