* Focal fabrics: 8 ½” squares
- Layer cake friendly
- Can get four 8 ½” squares from one fat quarter or quarter yard
* Background: Will be cut in to 2 ½” strips; can use bella solids jelly roll (King size will need 1 ½ jelly rolls); also need 1 ½” strips (for chain blocks)
*** Chain strips will be cut in to 1 ½” strips; honey-bun friendly
A few notes on fabric choices:
- Focal fabrics – can have large scale prints; need to contrast star points; mine are mostly Nicey Jane
- Contrast star points – I’m using Kona Stone (and I might plan in a few accent color stars); using all one color will unify and simplify your star points; choose a good contrast solid or blender print
- Background – I’m using Moda Bella snow (because I already had 3 yards of it on hand); I recommend a solid or neutral – you don’t want anything busy
- Chain strips – will be 1 ½” strips; honey-bun friendly à I’m using blender pieces from Nicey Jane and other coordinating lines
