The Land of the Sky collection includes 4 beginner-friendly patterns. Each design showcases a single star-shaped block made modern with the addition of harmonizing elements and the use of negative space. The patterns feature large blocks and come together quickly. While striking in solids, they are also perfect for showcasing prints.

Each pattern is sold separately and in a discounted 4-pattern bundle.

Inspired by the pine trees of Western North Carolina — the pine cones, held sideways, cast shadows that remind me of light and dark half-square triangles.

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Sizes: Baby, Throw, Full, and Queen
