“I love color!” quilt tester Sarah Huechteman says.
She used a rainbow of geometric prints and the
Peppermint Stars pattern to make a vibrant and
scrappy throw. While the prints look like solids
from afar, they create movement and interest for a
contemporary feel.
FABRICS are from the Meridian collection
by P&B Textiles (pbtex.com).
