Bubble Gum Stars Color Option

Bubble Gum Stars Color Option

The flowers in the multicolor border print gave quilt tester Laura Boehnke an idea for color placement in her Double Nine-Patch blocks. "Each Nine-Patch unit has a yellow center. The four corners match the adjacent setting squares in the Double Nine-Patch blocks," Laura says. "To me the quilt center looks like it repeats the flowers in the outer border." Fabrics are from the Avalon collection by Jason Yenter and other collections from In the Beginning Fabrics.
