    Sentimental Stems

    May 08, 2019 12 minutes

    There are a lot of pieces to create this delightful quilt, but the combination of soft colours and interesting shapes make this a stunning project.

    Cheryl has fussy cut the appliqué shapes to increase the visual impact of the design: she cut the larger petal shape from exactly the same position on the same print fabric to feature a printed motif.

    The Sentimental Star blocks consist of a number of components: Square in a Square, Flying Geese, Four Patch, Arrows and HSTs. Simply follow the steps to prepare the units, and then stitch them together to form the block. The corner blocks are an extension of the central block. Add some lovely wide borders — and wow!

    Finished quilt size: 184cm (72½in) square
