Usually, when I design a Block-of-the-Month quilt, it spawns so many ideas for spin-off quilts that I end up having to make some of them! Such is the case with the Loretta’s Farm and Garden Sampler quilts.
One of the blocks used in Loretta’s Sampler is the traditional block called “Star and Stripe”. When placed next to each other without any sashing, these blocks make a fantastic secondary design. Because of the block’s original name, I wanted to make my picnic size version in red, white, and blue. And I had the perfect bundle for it!

The finished quilt measures 66″ square, and the sewing is really easy, yet you end up with this wonderful design.
The PDF pattern is now available in my Etsy shop.
Very nice. Love that sashing! Am always on the lookout for new QOV patterns.
I love stars! Very pretty quilt.
A stunner! I need to make that one.
Love it but must resist… ☹️
Love this!! I’ll have to add it to the list……I still need to make one from the Springtime in Arrowrock.
