Southern Stars Free Quilt Pattern by Karen Witt
Description:
Southern Stars arranges thirty-five LeMoyne Star blocks in seven rows, surrounded by a foundation-pieced border. Karen Witt’s intermediate-level design features Nancy Gere’s Civil War VI collection and finishes at 53 by 71 inches. Nine-inch stars combine print parallelograms with beige background squares and triangles. Many star fabrics are fussy-cut, and the border uses ivory-and-black and red flag prints, with separate foundation layouts for its corner units.
