A Patriotic Pattern: Scrappy Nine Patch Stars

I've been seeing quite a lot of interest in patriotic quilts in the quilting world lately due to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. I thought I would share again my Scrappy Nine Patch Stars pattern, which has been very popular. There's time to make one before the Fourth of July! 

Because I've used the flimsy as a teaching sample, I've never quilted it, but I suppose I finally should. Here's the flimsy: 

The size is 60 by 84 inches. It's beginner-friendly, made up of 6" half-square triangles and nine patches. Great use of scraps, too. 


The tutorial is available for free. Just leave a comment, but you must include your email address in the text of the comment (otherwise if you're a no-reply commenter, I have no way of sending it to you).
