This fun block-within-a-block pattern offers oversized star blocks created with a variety of triangles and squares building blocks. There is no paper piecing required, although there will be a paper piecing option for one of the building blocks.

I used Fairy Dust by Vanessa Christenson for Moda Fabrics for this quilt, and I loved the variation in the fabrics. I thought it was interesting that the red and the pink both faded to light pink, and in some of the fabric (dark blue) there was a ton of variation, and in some of the fabrics, not so much.

I have a blog post that talks all about the fabrics here.
