In Month 9 you will also receive the instructions to make a Baby size quilt pattern from extra fabric from the prior months.

Who is this BOM for?
The Maximal Star BoM is for quilters who want a bold and non traditional design, steady progress, and a quilt that looks more complicated than it is all while being a part of a built-in community.
This is an Intermediate quilt pattern. Precision is very important when assembly blocks and sewing diamond blocks together. There are Y seams in the background of the quilt pattern. However, if you can accurately cut fabric and consistently sew with a 1/4" seam, you can make this quilt.
