Stars, Stripes, and Sparkles Free Quilt Pattern by Diane Nagle
Stars, Stripes, and Sparkles is a beginner quilt designed by Diane Nagle with the All-American Christmas collection by Whistler Studios. The finished quilt measures 57 by 69 inches. Six framed garland panel blocks alternate with six pieced star blocks. Flying-geese pairs and half-square-triangle corner units create the stars, and the blocks form four alternating rows. Three inner borders and an outer border surround the center, with separate cutting directions for the outer-border fabric.
