CENTER STAGE

The center square of the

block is a great spot for

fussy cutting. It emphasizes

the star formed in the

center of the block, rather

than the four stars in each

corner. Fabrics are from

the Sugarcreek collection

by Corey Yoder for Moda

Fabrics (modafabrics.com).

TRUE BLUE

In the classic fabric

arrangement for the

block, each of the four

stars is easy to see.

Fabrics are from the

Pepino collection by

Ana Sanfelippo for P&B

Textiles (pbtex.com). Limiting the palette to two

colors creates contrast between

the background and stars.

A secondary design of

magenta squares emerges

where the corners of the

blocks meet.

The white background fabric

highlights two star motifs—one

with light pink on-point squares

and one with lime green.

IN EVERY CORNER

Using a darker print for

the squares of the Flying

Geese units draws the

eye to the four corners

of the block. Fabrics are

from the Desertscapes

collection by Artisan Batiks

for Robert Kaufman Fabrics

(robertkaufman.com).
