Stars Through the Windows Baby Quilt Pattern
This easy baby quilt pattern is made from two simple quilt blocks, a four-patch variation and a Snowball. The large openings of the Snowballs are filled with images from a wintry night sky. Snowpeople can be seen through the smaller openings in the four-patch variation.
Two neutral fabrics, one lighter than the other, are used as frames to surround each block center, making the window contents more visible.
Put anything you like in the windows -- a beach scene, summer skies, birds... anything.
Finished block size: 6" x 6"
Finished quilt size: 34" x 46"
