Besties Road Trip Free Quilt Pattern by Stacey Day
Besties Road Trip combines squares of Besties Metallic prints with star units that punctuate the larger arrangement. Selected dog and fish motifs can be centered within their pieces, while the surrounding fabrics shift through the columns of each quilt section. Four quarters join around the central star arrangement to form a 75 x 93-inch quilt. The advanced beginner construction uses repeated pieced units and a detailed layout to organize the many fabric placements.
