Sweet Sugar Swirls

I first spotted these types of star blocks in quilts from the 1800’s and quickly fell in love with their fresh and quite contemporary look. Our signature star method doesn’t use a single template or “y” seam. Each block is simply strip pieced and assembled as an 8 part star! This is the third edition of this pattern as it has always been one of our favorites. This time our SWEET SUGAR SWIRLS needed a bit of a ROSIE glow up for a perfectly Americana pairing!

Fabric Requirements
Star Blocks: (1) Honeybun** -or- (36) 1 ½” strips.
Block Background: 1 ¾ yd. ivory solid -or ivory EYELET fabric
Sashing: 1 yd. small cream w/ red print
Posts: (2) ⅛ yds. small blue and red prints
Inner Border: ⅝ yd. small cream print
Outer Border: 1 ¼ yd. blue floral print
Backing: 5 yds. large floral print
Binding: ⅝ yd. small red print

** In order to create this red, white and blue feel as shown on the cover sample, you will need to set aside the green prints as well as some of the pink and tan fabrics in the ROSIE collection. Instead add in a few ⅛ yds. of your favorite reds & blues like the ginghams or firework prints.**
