Cindy's blocks are more complex and showcased fussy cut images while I kept these simple since the fabric was too cute to cut!
Fabric.com always gives you an extra inch in their cuts, so 1 yard of each design & careful cutting gave me enough blocks to make two quilts. Extra yardage was needed for the boarder which was cut at 4.5" and after quilting - trimmed to 4" on all sides.
The white Kona sashing is cut 1.5" wide and all fabrics were starched. I did make a layout for this quilt before I started sewing ... mostly so two designs wouldn't be next to each other. Even when I knew I had laid out the middle row wrong it didn't matter because I couldn't figure out my mistake. It just goes to show that this lovely simple pattern is forgiving as well.
To make this feel like a camping quilt to snuggle up in - and give the illusion of wrapping oneself up in the night - the back is ash grey minky and the simple zig zag quilting is done with Aurifil 50wt. light sand (#2000) and grey smoke (#5004). Quilting down the center of the white sashing from top to bottom & side to side - makes a really nice 4" grid throughout.
Materials:
Under the Stars from Timless Treasures
Kona white
Aurifil 50wt. / light sand / grey smoke
Dimple dot minky / ash grey
Warm & white batting
