Free Tutorial for the Sandhills Star (or Blossoming Cactus) Quilt Block
Posted by Elaine Huff on
The Sandhills Star quilt block, steeped in tradition and sometimes referred to as the "Blossoming Cactus" block, was first published in the Kansas City Star. While obviously being a star block, it can also be considered a weathervane block.
Sandhills Star is composed of four fabric colors set against a contrasting background. Your color placement can change the entire look of the block so you can create a quilt that is uniquely your own.
