Four Star Wall Hanging
Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke
From American Patchwork and Quilting, April 2008

Using the City Girl collection for Benartex, quilt tester Laura Boehnke put a modern, laid-back spin on “Nantucket Stars.”

Instead of hand piecing, Laura machine-pieced her diamonds, carefully stitching from matching point to matching point.

“I really like how some of the larger prints from this fabric collection look when they’re cut up into the small diamond pieces,” Laura says. A field of mottled pale green in the setting squares and triangles offers a wonderful place for elaborate quilting.
