Star Sampler Free Quilt Pattern by Liza Lucy
Star Sampler builds a large central Blazing Star and surrounds it with five smaller block designs. Fussy-cut motifs connect the Kaffe Fassett x William Morris prints across Cornerstones, Dutchman’s Puzzle, Square-on-Point, Ohio Star and Turnstile blocks. Sashing, cornerstones and an outer border complete the 89 1/2-inch-square quilt. The intermediate project is organized into seven monthly sections and includes cutting templates, directional placement diagrams and set-in seams for the central star.
