Dandelion Greens
Dandelion Greens Quilt Block Featuring Sets E and N
The
12" block shown in the quilt design below is a variation of
"Dandelion" in Volume 3, which is made with Set E. The
finished length of one leg of the corner triangle in a 12"
8-pointed star is 3 7/16" — the same length as a finished
8-pointed star made with Set N. That means a diagonal half of the
small star is the same size as the corner triangle in the large
star — a Perfect Patchwork marriage!
