Simply Stars Free Quilt Pattern by Lucy A. Fazely
Simply Stars uses two fat-quarter packs to build a quilt from repeated squares with contrasting corners. Lucy A. Fazely designed the advanced-beginner project with Petite Prints by August Ellery and Complements by Sew Kind of Wonderful. Each block receives two smaller squares on opposite corners before the blocks are rotated into the illustrated arrangement. Fifteen rows of twelve blocks form the sixty-by-seventy-five-inch quilt, and a separate coordinating print supplies the binding.

- Cut the small squares from the Petite Prints fat quarters and the larger squares from the Complements fat quarters. Prepare the coordinating binding strips.
- Mark diagonal lines on the small squares. Sew two to opposite corners of each larger square, trim the seam allowances and press to make 180 blocks.
- Rotate the blocks according to the layout and arrange fifteen rows of twelve. Sew the blocks into rows, join the rows and press the row seams open.
- Join the binding strips, layer and quilt, then trim the extra layers. Attach the binding with mitered corners and hand stitch it to the back.
