Rag Heart Quilt Tutorial Recently I was invited to a wedding and as soon as I received the invitation I knew a quilt was in order. However....I was short on time. Like, really, extremely, incredibly short on time....because my life had gone haywire. But I wanted to make a quilt full of love.

The Lucky Star Quilt Pattern

It started out as a how-to years ago...then a tutorial several years after that...then a pattern for the Mod Bee last year...and finally, today, a PDF pattern available HERE in our shop.
