When Jenny debuted the Calico Star, it was an instant favorite. (Scrappy. Floral. Adorable!) Six years later, we’re making it again—this time with a solid gradient. We’re using ten shades of Kona Cotton that blend beautifully from light to dark. Pick up the kit and enjoy each quick n’ easy stitch. This is the first episode of Natalie’s new series: What If? We’ll transform classic blocks with simple tweaks, fresh colors, and new layouts—and we hope you’ll feel inspired to experiment, too!
