Wish Upon a Star and Purple Sunrise

We choose this pattern for our exciting Block of the Month 2022. Don't let the 5* scares you off!
With our helpful tutorials we'll guide through this glorious pattern every step of the way. And with a supporting Facebook group, (will follow) specially for "Wish Upon a Star" and "Purple Sunrise" you will enjoy making this fabulous quilt.

How it works

When you purchase the pattern for our BOM, you will notice that it is different than the usual BOM programs in that all the months will be provided within a single package. Also contained within the package is an instructional booklet. Using this booklet we will guide you through this journey month by month, step by step.
The instructional booklet provides some General Points of Attention about the techniques, tips and tricks, and other useful information to help you with “Purple Sunrise” or "Wish Upon a Star". It is important to read these instructions carefully and we always recommend reading them more than once. These General Points of Attention will provide you with an understanding of how I work and will allow you to incorporate my techniques with your own knowledge of paper piecing.

Purple Sunrise and Wish Upon a Star Facebook group

For enthusiastic “Purple Sunrise” or "Wish Upon a Star" sewists we have created a special Facebook group. Joining this group will allow you to view the steps we make every month, see pictures of work in progress, and watch the tutorials to learn the skills to make the stars, flying geese, and spikes. We will also show you how to work with curves, double seam allowances, and the other details you will find in our Block of the Month. We will post how-to videos, photos, and will give all kinds of information to guide you through our beautiful Block of the Month.
You were all invited to share your progress with photos on this Facebook group. If you have questions regarding the pattern, this is the perfect place to ask.

The BeColourful team; Jacqueline, Bridget, Lisa, Megan, Dianne, Anne, Maureen, Melanie and Katja -our highly skilled teachers from the USA, Canada, Australia and Germany; are ready for your questions. We will help you wherever we can.

Purple Sunrise/ Wish Upon a Star Tutorials

'Purple Sunrise' and 'Wish Upon a Star' are not only designed to work in or with a group, you also can work in your own pace. But a little assistance in some parts of the process might be helpful.
That's why we made some helpful tutorials to guide you along the way.

Sometimes you need some detailed photos of the pattern you are working on and we can totally relate to that. And also to highlight our talented quilter Lynda Jackson of Capricorn Quilting, Sheffield, UK (www.capricornquilting.co.uk/), here is the link to the page with photos of both 'Purple Sunrise' and 'Wish Upon a Star'.
