Helen delights in sharing her love of patchwork with a modern twist, and this spikey star is no exception.
Originally designed for the Quilters Guild, Helen is happy to share the details with us.
The block is made simply from 10" squares, so a layer cake is perfect. Make an assymetrical 9 patch and then add the spikes.
