The Posy Stars Quilt is Jeanne Rae Crafts' Block of the Month project for 2021. The Posy Stars Quilt features appliqued flowers in pieced star blocks. I think of all of my quilting friends as stars so this is dedicated to all of you!
We've featured a BOM project every year since 1998, making this project our 24th! Come back monthly for each succeeding step. TThe Posy Stars Quilt features appliqued flowers in pieced star blocks.
The 12 steps to making the blocks will be introduced throughout the year with the finishing directions also included. This quilt can be made with coordinating fabrics, or each block could have its own color scheme using scraps or fat quarters. Whichever you choose, the stars will glow as a wall hanging or baby quilt. Add one more row of flowers and stars to make a throw size quilt.
