NEW BOOK - I Love Star Blocks

Moda Designer's I Love Star Blocks by Martingale

And who doesn't? Star blocks are a favorite among quilters of all skill levels. They're a favorite among designers, as well, as you'll see in this new compilation book from Martingale. I am honored, as always, to be included with so many talented designers offering such an eclectic mix of design styles. There's something for every quilter!

Along with all the beautiful quilts shown on the cover, here's a look at a few more of the delightfully different and interesting star quilts included in I Love Stars, including mine featuring our mini melon template.
