Quilt layout

MAKE THE QUILT
Finished size: 60" square

For my quilt I made fi ve Large Star blocks and eight Small
Star blocks. I arranged the blocks with a further sixty eight,
6½" squares cut from assorted scraps. If you notice, I have
positioned some Small Star blocks within the corners or centre
of a Large Square block, instead of using a 6½" scrap square.

Arrange blocks and squares in a 10 x 10 grid. Join units together

in rows. Press seams for alternate rows in opposite direction.

Join rows together to complete the quilt top. Double bind the

edges with 2½" black strips. You will need 50cm of black.

Have fun with your scraps this month and remember, if you

need more of one colour and less of another, consider a swap

with a quilting friend to expand the variety in your stash!
