Easy Quilt Block Tutorial: The Variable Star (in a star)

The Variable Star is a classic quilt block that has been around for over 100 years. It has also been called the Sawtooth Star and the Evening Star. This fun block lends itself to so many versions. Since the center is a square, you can fill that square with patchwork, fussy cut fabric, or more stars (like I did)!

What are Low Volume Fabrics and How Do I Use Them?

I LOVE sewing low volume quilts! To me, they are modern and traditional, using lots of fabrics that don’t necessarily match, but look beautiful as a whole. We’re not starting something new, just borrowing ideas from early quilters who cut fabric pieces from clothing, sheets, and even flour sacks, piecing them together in beautiful patterns.
