Rhododendron Stars Bolster Free Pattern by Liza Lucy - Free Quilt Pattern
Description:
Rhododendron Stars Bolster turns forty-two fabric hexagons into a fitted cover for a neck-roll pillow. Fussy cutting centers the printed motifs before the pieces are basted around paper hexagons and joined by hand. The hexagons are arranged in diagonal groups, then sewn into a tube. Liza Lucy provides two approaches for covering the insert ends, followed by decorative buttons and a blind-stitched outer cover. The finished bolster is described as 16 inches long and 19 1/2 inches in circumference.

Rhododendron Stars Bolster Free Pattern by Liza Lucy quilt pattern summary
- Fussy cut forty-two hexagons with the acrylic template so that a motif is centered in each piece. Thread baste or glue baste the fabric around the paper shapes.
- Whipstitch matching hexagon edges into the diagonal groups, following the placement diagram without sewing through the papers. Join the rows, press and remove the papers.
- Whipstitch the short ends together to form the cover tube and turn it right side out. Cover the insert ends using either the fabric-circle method or the separate gathered lining tube.
- Secure the covered ends and add the decorative buttons. Slide the hexagon cover over the pillow form and blind stitch its edge hexagons to the lining.
