Hello Makers, 

Are you always in search for cute prints for the little's in your life? I know for me I am always on the look out for fabrics that they can grow into and not be to over the top childish! That way they can use it when they are older. AGF's new Capsule Collection called Stargazer is definitely that kind of collection. The outer space nursery theme has been trending for some time and I love how it can cater to both girls and boys. Surround your little ones with a room full of shimmering stars, happy moons, and cute animals dressed up as  astronauts!   To view the full collection click here! The collection comes with two awesome panel prints, one in quilting cotton and other other in our super comfy knit! 

Grab some of your favorite prints from Stargazer fabrics and join me below to whip up the "Star Bright" Block!

In this tutorial we learn to make flying geese using the 8 at a time method and make flying geese using the no waste method. Have fun watching  the video below and leave me a comment if you enjoy the tutorial! 

 

 

Finished Block Size: 12"

I mentioned in the video I wanted to make a baby quilt for my nephew so I came up with a another block in a different color way to create the quilt below! What a burst of flying geese! I really love the movement in this quilt! Do you think he is going to love it? :)

    Thanks Rosemary! I love the effect the flying geese and HST’s create! The fussy cut center also adds to the cuteness of this block! 😍
