Scrappy, fun, bright, and happy – all describe this playful quilt. This is a great project for using your scraps. White tone-on-tone prints make the stars more prominent; black-and-white prints create an interesting background; and a variety of bright prints make the quilt sparkle. You'll learn several methods for making perfect stitch-and-flip corners. Then, see how easy it is to construct the blocks while reducing the number of seams. Learn how to use the bonus triangle to make other projects. If you want to make a larger quilt, simply add more blocks!
