Description
Printed instructions to make a tartan stars quilt from the new Liberty Fabrics Postcards from the Highlands collection
A cosy quilt with a nod to a tartan style layout of interwoven colours. It features two quilt block layouts: the tartan stripes block with an interspersed Sawtooth star block ‘exploding’ out.

WS Blackcurrant – R&H Magenta
WS Cream – R&H Ivory
WS Dusted Violet – R&H Lavender
WS Sage – R&H Misty Blue
Backing Fabric – minimum 1.25yd / 1.25m (not allowing for long arm extra requirement)
Some piecing or border may be required for backing if fabric is not 44” WOF
