Description

This two block quilt gives the illusion of curves without curve piecing. The triangle in square units in the Amazing Star block make this happen.

For best results:

  1. Use odd number of blocks for rows and columns.
  2. Place the Amazing Star blocks in the corners.
  3. Set block-to-block without sashing.

Designing the quilt this way results in an odd number of blocks. The number of Amazing Star blocks is one more than the Double Nine Patch blocks.
