Stars Shimmer in This Updated Vintage Quilt
The Free Oversized Block Can be a Small Wall or Table Quilt!
One large block makes a striking quilt in whatever colors you choose. It was inspired by a 1930s block and given an updated twist for Fat Quarter Shop’s Classic and Vintage Series.
The 24.5″ x 24.5″ (unfinished) block can be easily turned into a table or wall quilt. Just add borders. Or combine several for a larger quilt.
We love how the gradations in value seem to make the central stars shimmer in the autumn quilt shown above.

Any color theme will be great in the block and the quilt, as well as other value arrangements. Here are a few examples to get you started.
