Wow, I can't believe it is March already!!! Time flies when you are busy Happy Quilting!! But with a new month there is a new $5 Pattern of the Month here at Happy Quilting!!! And March is all about Navigating the Stars. And it is just $5 all month long!!!
Navigating the Stars has 6 size options. It is an extremely versatile deign and would look fantastic in just about any Fat Quarter Bundle you choose :) The key is to pick a great accent fabric for those secondary stars so they pop!!
Navigating the Stars uses one basic piecing technique of stitch and flip corners. I include pressing directions hat make it so all of your angled seams nest, making it easier to get all of those pretty points! The design was inspired by new world ships sails, and I just love that based on the fabric choices, sometimes you see the white star, and sometimes you see the print iron cross. It makes the design just have so much movement.
I alternated my blocks in the warm shades and the cool shades. It creates a great balance. But of course, you can totally make it your own. Do a random color layout, use a different color background, whatever you choose, it will look amazing!! Just grab a Fat Quarter Bundle and have fun piecing this wonderful Navigating the Stars quilt !!
