This quilt began with 20 fat quarters and ended with a fun double-helix and zigzag pattern.
I started three quilts using fat quarters (big thanks to Jo-Ann’s and their $0.99 FQ sale plus coupons for enabling this indulgence) and half-square triangles. This is #2. It measures 60" x 84".
The first was for a charity auction. This quilt is for my sister on her birthday (she just turned 50!). I am a little late, thanks to this stupid virus and the resulting lock down, needed to make masks, etc.
Anyway, on to the pictures! Sorry they stink. My quilt frame is currently with the charity quilt, waiting for the auction to be rescheduled.
Thanks! I did quilt it with echoed stars. I’ve done a few quilts with a similar motif and it makes for a nice drape (after a wash or two).

I love it! I have made a lot of red, white and blue quilts, mostly for Wounded Warrior auctions…they are really patriotic and I think show a lot of pride in our country, even if it is messed up right now…
I love that star fabric…you say it sparkles? WOW! I need that!
I hope to see more of your lovely quilts…they are really special…and better late than never…you sister will be happy to have it!!!
Thank you! I got the fabric at Jo-Ann’s. Should still be available, I know they’ve had it for a couple years now. It’s nice because it’s just a few stars that are glittery, and the glitter is glued down very well (read: doesn’t turn a load of laundry into a nightmare).
I have one more quilt that just needs pinning, quilting, and binding. (Then, I’m going to be cutting up my scraps for a scrap quilt!)
