I made this star quilt for my grandson using 12 fat quarters and about 2 yards of black sashing/border fabric. It's a twin size. I used my own pattern - stacked the fabric, cut it, shuffled it, and sewed it together. Took me only 4 hours to cut and sew the 12 blocks, but it took me almost 8 hours to paper piece the cornerstones and corner blocks.
