Star Spangled Stitches is a beginner quilt designed by Wendy Sheppard with American Tribute by Whistler Studios. The finished quilt measures 62 inches square. Its center is fussy cut from a panel, keeping six printed squares across and six down. Narrow inner borders surround the panel before a border of pieced fabric squares is added. A further inner border and an outer border complete the design, with fat quarters supplying the pieced-border squares.
