From Liz: When I moved to Austin, Texas, I joined a weekly quilt bee called Match-A-Patch. That year the bee issued a challenge to its members to use exchanged 2½"-wide reproduction fabric strips. Although I arrived too late for the exchange, I found plenty of fabrics in my stash to participate in the challenge. This fat quarter friendly quilt features star and hourglass quilt blocks.
