Introduction
9:39
This wall hanging uses fabric placement to create dimension. The first session covers all the tools and supplies needed as well as a discussion of color and scale of prints that work well in this design.
Preparing Paper Foundations
6:55
We will be discussing how to print and prepare the paper foundations. Then we will talk about pre-cutting the shapes and doing the pre-folding process.
Piecing
25:54
Learn how to read the coding of the various paper foundations for fabric placement and see a demonstration of the piecing process.
Joining Quadrants
17:15
This session covers tips for piecing and pressing that creates accurately joined quadrants.
Diagonal Set and Quilting
26:21
This final session is all about the diagonal setting process, adding the borders and an overview of the quilting design used in the original quilt.
The Star Gazer wall hanging was created using a very traditional paper foundation technique. This is a good beginner/intermediate level project where you can sharpen your skills and learn more about using value and scale of design to create dimension and depth that makes the stars "lift" off the surface.

Colleen Tauke is a quilter, designer, and quilt educator with 40+ years of sewing experience. Of those, the last 17 years have been focused around quilting. Early in her quilting endeavors, she was challenged to piece a quilt that seemed daunting. Fussy cutting, Y-seams, strip piecing, hourglass blocks, a pieced border, and appliqué—all in ONE quilt. This was her first bed sized quilt that would later become a quilt shop sample and win third-place at the Iowa State Fair in the “My First Quilt” division. Since then, she was hooked!
