I found this book at the library, its such a good way to use up scraps....
It is called Nickel Quilts by Pat Speth and Charlene Thode. They have a whole bunch of quilts to make with 5" scraps.
This quilt really caught my eye, I just love stars and this one has a bit of a twist to it. And they have an interesting way of putting together the blocks...
Here is one that I put together and by looking at it you would think that you have to sew together a whole bunch of half triangles but the directions she gives starts out with 5"blocks. I'll show you below...


Thanks for the tutorial. This is so neat!
ReplyDeleteI love this! And it looks so easy that even I can do it. ;o) The "half stars" that make up the border looks a bit bigger than the others? Are they also made with 5 x 5 squares or are those squares larger?
