Confident Beginner Patterns from Valley Quilt Studio

Caron Carlson of Valley Quilt Studio offers quilt patterns with multiple settings and multiple sizes.  Color layouts are provided to help you with construction.   Patterns for the “confident beginner” are easy enough to make and yet still provide design opportunities and interest for a more experienced quilter.  Are you a beginner but not confident?  You can be!  Just a step at a time gets it done!

One Block Wonder is made with four fabrics, only one block and endless settings.  You’ll be amazed at all the different looks you can achieve.  Instructions are included for two sizes… 80″ x 100″ and 53″ x 73″.   You’ll also get fabric selection tips and full color layout charts.

Shooting Starz is easier than it looks.  That complicated looking border is really part of the blocks.  Easy piecy as they say in quilt land.  You will need to be organized with this one but, still, easy!  All these lovely stars will finish the quilt at 69″ x 87″.

Stars Over The Prairie is the perfect patterns to showcase a favorite fabric that you don’t want to cut too small.  Use it for the large square alternating blocks, and repeat it in the border if you like!  Pull the colors from that fabric for your stars. A nice solid - or tone on tone that reads solid – for the “block surrounds” will give a sense of motion.   Instructions are included for both a Twin size (58″ x 81″) Queen (82″ x 106″).

So choose one (or more!) and build a quilt along with some confidence!  Happy quilting!
