Twinkle, twinkle little Star Quilt

Creating a star quilt can be quite a treat. There are so many different star patterns: Lone star, Ohio Star, Starburst, Sawtooth Star, Star Flower, Rising Star, Broken Star, Twisted Star, Whirlwind Star, 8 point Star, plus many, many more. Then choosing the fabric for your quilt only makes more decisions for you, but almost ensures that your quilt will be unique.

The easiest star pattern that I have done is a star made from a square and 8 half-square triangles for the points. The more difficult star patterns use diamond shaped patterns, as in the Lone Star quilt pattern, and is something I haven't attempted yet. Some day I will!

Enjoy the Star quilts pictured here.




This quilt was made by my mother-in-law, Lydia, when my husband was a child. It is made from scraps of all kinds of fabrics and has been used and abused. I hate to admit that my husband and I used it several times as a moving blanket to protect our furniture. Now it is used as intended, keeping my husband warm as he naps on the couch. It has 15" squares and is big enough to cover the top of our queen sized bed. - Tammy, Wilton Center, IL, USA
This quilt was made by a relative and has been passed down to me. It is bordered and backed in a medium green color and fits beautifully on a full-sized bed. Tammy, Wilton Center, IL, USA

Orangeman's Day  starstarstarstarstar
This quilt began with a pricey workshop on salt-hand-dyed muslin. I used the salt and red and yellow dyes, hoping to get something like a Tequila Sunrise....

White Water  starstarstarstarstar
This is the second quilt that I made. It took me two years but it was worth the wait!
