Circle Framed Pentagon Star with Dudley Shugart
Saturday, August 22, 2026
10:30 am – 4:30 pm, ½ hour lunch break
Location: Upstairs classroom (access via stairs only)
Join us to remake a traditional 15 in. quilt block with a pentagon star center set in a circle. Great graphic punch for pillows, or to build a quilt with. Students will complete at least one block in class; two or more depending on your speed. The class will teach you how to use templates to cut the pieces as well as the different techniques for machine piecing — including piecing the circle within the square block. Pattern will be provided to students. Student Supply List:
-
Fabrics: — Each block contains five different fabrics, so please bring at least five coordinating fabric, fat-eighth size or larger for each block.
- A favorite fat quarter bundle gives you options
- Aim for different scale prints with some light, medium and dark tones for the most effective stars
-
Quilt rulers: any size square ruler and a 24-in. x 6 in. ruler
-
rotary cutter and cutting mat
-
Sewing machine in good working order that you are comfortable using
-
Basic sewing notions (thread, pins, scissors, fabric marking tools, etc.)
Note: students are expected to have basic sewing skills and knowledge of their sewing machine: this is not an introduction to sewing or a beginning sewing class.
