Journey to Nebula - Rock Candy - Cutting the Star 60 Way! from Quilting Affection

Now that I have finished my Jaw Breaker pillow, it was time to move onto the next project in the Journey 2 Nebula Quilt Along.

The next project is Rock Candy Tabletopper. This is a fun quilt that is made by combining diamonds and side triangles. The pattern calls for the use of 5" charm squares. I choose to use black background Island Batik fabric and 6 Coordinating fabrics; all were cut into 2 1/2" strips. The reason I used 2 1/2" strips over the 5" charm squares is that not every 5" charm square package is actually ...

Journey to Nebula - Finishing Jawbreaker pillow from Quilting Affection

After ...

Journey to Nebula Quilt Along - Jawbreaker - Cutting Star 60 way from Quilting Affection

Week 5 in the Journey 2 Nebula has started with the making of the "Jawbreaker" pillow by Jaybird Quilts. When finished, this pillow will measure 20".

This pattern is written by Hex N More Ruler by Jaybird Quilts, but I will be using the Studio 180 Design Star 60 tool to do all my cutting. I'm using fabrics from the Island Batik "Islander Batik" Collection that I have been using for the last 2 projects.

The pattern calls for eight 2 1/2" x WOF strips, so I pulled out eight coordinating strips that I could use as ...

Welcome back to my Journey 2 Nebula blog posts. I got a little behind on my blog for Week #3, finishing the "Lucky Charm" pillow. If you would like to see how I cut my Half Hexagons pieces check out my blog post on Cutting the Star 60 way, HERE.

The first thing I did after I finished cutting out my pieces was to arrange them the way I wanted the pillow to look in the front.

Once I had them all arranged, I still had 10 of the Half Hexagons leftover, which will be filled in on the sides ...
