This easy quilt has a lot of good color possibilities: patriotic, seasonal, special holidays, favorite colors, or even that strip set you've been holding onto for awhile. Whatever your choice make sure you choose a Background that has enough contrast from your strip colors. That way your stars will show up the best. Our sample was made from 1930's reproduction prints. See pattern for other color examples.
Please notice that our sample has an extra inner border, like the large throw option 2 on page 4 of the pattern. This helps frame the main design before you add a fun large border.
Another difference that I recommend for more advanced quilters is the use of a multi-size flying goose ruler, such as Marti Michell's or Creative Grids. I used the ruler to cut the peak of Block 1 and the background triangle units. Stop by the Needle to have Cynthia show you a quick demo if this sounds interesting to you.
