My Stars
Patterns from The Kansas City Star - Volume 1
In 1928, The Kansas City Star newspaper began printing traditional quilt patterns that would become world famous and remain favorites for generations to come. The patterns were a feature in The Star until 1961. By the time the last one ran, more than 1,000 had been published.
More recently, Kansas City Star Quilts was formed to continue this quilting tradition. But Star Quilts had never put together a complete volume of all of the blocks. So in August 2007, it launched a program called My Star Collection. Each week, a redraft of an old pattern is offered to My Star Collection subscribers. This program will continue until all the old patterns are redrafted.
This book includes 25 of the first patterns offered to My Star subscribers. Each includes fabric requirements, templates and assembly instructions, as well as the original caption printed in the newspaper.
So whether you plan to stitch these famous old blocks or are a collector, sit back and enjoy the heritage of quilting. And clear a spot on your shelf, because eventually Kansas City Star Quilts will chronicle them all. This is just the beginning.
