Introducing the ‘Snappy Star Quilt’. I wanted a simple quilt pattern because I planned to make quite a few new couch and bed quilts for my family. That’s how the ‘Snappy Star’ quilt pattern was born! It’s so easy to make, you can whip it up in no time. The beauty of this pattern is its simplicity. Here are some details of the pattern: 8 fat quarters for the star 2¼ yards or 8 fat quarters for the background Allowances for those tricky fat quarters that only measure 17½” instead of the standard 18″ Two sizes: a Large Lap (69″ square) and a Large Lap with additional borders (80″ square) I love that you can use your favorite fat quarters that you’ve been holding onto and let them be the star of the show.
