Stellar: A New Star Quilt Pattern
A Star Quilt and Half Square Triangles: these are a few of my favorite things! This is Stellar. I love star quilts, and half square triangles both – so this pattern combines them in one quilt!

Rainbow Scrappy Quilt
Making quilts from scraps is truly my favorite way to work. It’s such joy to play in the scrap bins – I keep them organized by color, which makes it easier to find the right piece of fabric (I could do a whole blog post on organizing scraps – in fact there are entire booksContinue reading “Rainbow Scrappy Quilt”
