Holiday Sparkle Color Option [4]


Designers Chloe Anderson and Colleen Reale loved Holiday Sparkle’s fabric mix of florals, paisleys, and mosaics so much that they used the same fabric line in another colorway to make a second version of the quilt.

Hourglass Stars Wall Hanging

Sew a bright wall hanging using lime green, pink, orange, purple, and brown prints from the whimsical Fandango collection for Henry Glass & Co. With careful fabric selection, you can highlight the quilt’s star or hourglass blocks. Fabric placement in the hourglass blocks also creates a secondary star design.
