Summer Solstice From Quiltworx - Judy Niemeyer

The beautiful Summer Solstice quilt is made using a strip piecing technique that expands on our traditional foundation paper piecing approach to complete lone star units. The technique evolved from seeing some common assembly approaches and experimenting with ways to speed up the creation of a lone star block with a strip to eliminate cutting, while also minimizing fabric waste. The Summer Solstice star was designed using 3” strips for the strip piecing. It incorporates a paper pieced New York Beauty (NYB) block and the general assembly process was designed with no Y-Seams. It uses yardage very efficiently at just over 7 yards of fabric for the top.
