Here's the sixth quilt in my Simply series. Introducing Simply Stars! I made this quilt top in about 4.5 hours on Saturday and then I longarmed the quilt Saturday night. It uses a layer cake and approximately 1.75 yards of background. I also used the larger A2 Clearly Slotted Trimmer to speed up making large half-square triangles!
I was actually afraid this quilt was going to take me a lot more time because the Simply Cake pattern took me 5 hours and had less half-square triangles than this quilt. This was probably the best test I've done that shows the slotted trimmer is a huge time saver!
