Glimmer by Jaybird Quilts is a striking medallion-style quilt pattern built around bold fabric pairing.
The design combines equal parts of three coordinating fabrics, zipping together to form a dynamic star layout with strong visual movement.
While the finished quilt has the appearance of intricate piecing, the construction is streamlined and does not require Y seams.
Glimmer is designed to be used with the Super Sidekick Ruler, which enables accurate angled cutting and consistent star construction.
