Christine Van Buskirk and Susan Emorydesigned Sleep Under the Stars for Quilt Sampler® Spring/Summer 2012 magazine. They combined star blocks and a crisp black-and-white color scheme for a stellar bed quilt.
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke combined large floral prints and a stripe in her wall hanging version of Sleep Under the Stars. The Square-in-a-Square units provide an area to showcase the stripe fabric. Laura chose to use the large floral print in center alternating blocks and outer border. Fabrics are from the Leila Rose collection by Alex Anderson for P&B Textiles.
