Block 11 – Star Setting Twin, 4 Fabric Version

The Memory Quilt Block uses flying geese, stitch and flip units, and general piecing techniques.

Block 11 – Postage Stamp Setting Throw, FQ Version

I modified the directions of the Outlined Star to make one set of stitch and flip flying geese instead of the four-at-a-time method to keep my directional prints oriented the same way.

Be sure to share photos of your block(s) in the Quilting Jetgirl Facebook group or on social media using the hashtag #DiatomQuiltAlong.
