Calico Stars - Nashville Preview

February 13, 2026

Next is a quick and fun Skinny Mini pattern that takes it's cue from Calico Sampler.

I loved the little multi-colored stars on the sampler, and I'm always up for anything with a quilting or patchwork motif! The colors are pulled directly from Calico Sampler, so if you kit that one, you'll already have all the colors you need for this one :)

And believe it or not, these little skinny minis are quite useful. I use them a lot as a paperweight, or pattern weight (when cutting out a sewing pattern). They are also great to hold your book or magazine open without covering the entire page.

Of course, those options work best when they are filled with crushed walnut shells or something similar (like rice or lentils).
