Star Light - A New Pattern and a Giveaway!

****Edit:  This giveaway is now closed****


Let introduce you the newest pattern to my line - Star Light.  It is a pattern based on the center star of my Milky Way Medallion quilt, but utilizes a striped fabric for a completely different look.


In my test quilt I used a single striped fabric for all of the stars and alternated between black and grey for the background fabrics.  In the corners where the blocks meet I used solid fabrics, but it would be a great place to use another pop of color for a completely different look.


I quilted this quilt echoing the outside of the stars and used wavy lines on the borders.  I would have loved to bind the quilt in the stripe as well, but I ran out of stripe so I had to settle for a solid black that matched the border.  


The back I just had fun with and used some leftovers from the front along with some black and grey pieces from my stash.  I had to buy a few pieces to finish it, but it was a great way to use up some remaining large pieces that I have sitting around.  

 
The pattern contains 13 pages - including templates, fabric requirements and cover - of detailed step by step instructions with diagrams showing you how to make the quilt in 4 different sizes: kid, lap, twin, and queen.  The pattern is made to be used with a striped fabric, but will still work with any fabric (although the stars might look a little more plain).

If you are interested in purchasing the pattern it is $8.00 and available in my Etsy Shop .


I am giving away a copy of the pattern to one lucky reader!

Thanks for reading!

  1. WOW. I have no idea what I would make it in...maybe I'll be full and say high volume blacks and charcoal. I've been wanting to do that color scheme for awhile!

    I think I would make it with a dark and light blue background and maybe the stars out of black and white stripes

  10. I really like yours because I like bright. I might go with all black and primary colors or Tonga bright would be good. Maybe Kaffe Fasset to contrast would be fun.
