دوامة النجم الأحمر والأبيض والأزرق من Karen Combs

The spiral layout really pops in these colors, and the paper pieces are sturdy enough to hold their shape while I baste. I’m about halfway through the center and it’s lying perfectly flat, no warping at all.

The pre-cut paper pieces make this English paper piecing pattern so much easier to start, and the crisp red, white, and blue layout looks fantastic once you get the spiral going. I’ve already finished the center section and can’t wait to see the whole star come together.

I was a little intimidated by the spiral layout at first, but the laser-cut paper pieces fit together so precisely that it actually came together smoothly. The finished block has such a crisp, clean look that’s perfect for a patriotic quilt.
