Elevate your next quilt project with this charming star-in-a-star block. This updated classic star block has timeless appeal.
Choose between several block sizes to make a mini quilt, table runner, wall hanging, and more. You’re sure to find several projects to use it in.
The block is created using foundation paper piecing for precise results. It’s so easy that it’s the perfect project for learning this technique. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here to help you along.
