This Beautiful Quilt Was Inspired By An Antique
The Large Center Block Can Be Used In Many Projects!
This beautiful quilt will be a lovely addition to any home. It’s a recreation of an antique quilt, and depending on the fabrics you choose can take on a modern or vintage look.
The large center block is finished with a border of square-in-a-square blocks. Finish the block without the border for a charming table or wall quilt. The block can be used in other projects, as well.

The unfinished block is 20 1/2″ square.
A pattern is available for the quilt with borders for a small fee. Make it up in colors you love, and consider fussy-cutting the centers of the star-in-a-star blocks, as in the example below.
