| Calico Stars Quilt of Valor 56 x 75 inches |
I loved working with this pattern (Stars from Stripes) by Cozy Quilt Designs because making the stars did not result in creating more scraps, i.e. no waste. The tips that were cut off to create the stars were used to create the sawtooth border. I did make an adjustment in the placement of the sawtooth border and extended the final border to 6.5 inches instead of the suggested 5.5 inches in order to meet Quilt of Valor minimum size standards.
I'm on a mission to reduce my scraps, so stay tuned for even more scrap busting.
This quilt is one of my favorites!

ReplyDeleteGreat quilt Nancy. You are doing a great job on taming the scraps. I really like the block on this one. What size is the block? Is it just one section of the star or all four
