A New Starry Quilt Block Pattern Each Month
With Starry Signs, you’ll create a quilt that brings the magic of the stars to life. Each month, you’ll sew a Foundation Paper Pieced (FPP) quilt block featuring a zodiac constellation. From Capricorn to Sagittarius, these celestial blocks combine details and clean lines to form a stunning modern starry quilt.
