Dancing with the Stars spotlights paper-pieced, 12" star blocks designed by Carol Doak exclusively for Stitchin' Heaven! You'll be amazed as you step onto the dance floor, and take a spin with this striking, stellar-inspired quilt. Each block is named for a gorgeous ballroom dance like, the Viennese Waltz, the Foxtrot, and even the Cha Cha, and proudly shows off the brilliance of Hoffman's batik fabrics. The setting, designed by Deb Luttrell, features a chain block, and two borders, framing this stunning quilt with simple elegance. Like stars on a dance floor, these beautiful, batik blocks will have you mesmerized, as they sparkle and shine with each step of the dance. The finished quilt measures 80" x 92".
The pattern comes with complete instructions, paper-piecing foundations, color images, full-size layouts, cutting charts for each block, and even color pictures of recommended fabrics. All provided in CD form for ease of access and printing!

Carol Doak's Legal-Size Foundation Paper
50 Sheets, 8 1/2” x 14”
New larger size-print more designs on one sheet!
• Stays in place while you stitch and tears away easily when you're done
• No shrinking, curling, turning brittle, or printer jams
• Works in most printers and copiers (inkjet or laser)
This new, larger size is the same great quality as the 8-1/2”x11” sheets you know and love. Fabric doesn't slip on the surface and you won't have any extra bulk when you join sections of your blocks together. This paper is absorbent, so any inked areas won't transfer to your fabric. Now it's easier to create longer quilt border designs -a free border pattern is included in the package! Be sure to ask your local quilt shop to stock this paper so you don't have to pay postage to have it delivered to your front door. Free border pattern inside package.
I am so excited to announce that the Carol Doak Keepsake Cards will be released in October.
Surround Yourself with Art
• 4 premium blank 5" x 7" cards and envelopes
• Beautifully textured handmade paper

• Frame small quilt blocks, fiber art, paintings, or drawings inside a debossed 3" square window
