I sometimes have a hard time narrowing down how many colors and fabrics I want to put in a quilt, so I designed this 80” x 80” quilt to features ALL the colors! Use fat eighths, precut 10” squares, or scraps from your stash to make clusters of colorful stars using conventional patchwork piecing. The centers of these stars are great places to show off fussy cuts of your favorite fabrics.
The background fabrics in my quilt as Kona Windsor and Snow, and Essex Yarn-Dyed linen blend in Indigo.
OPTIONAL PIECED BACK
The pattern explains how you can use leftover pieces from sewing the diagonal seams in the quilt top to make a stunning pieced quilt back.
BONUS PILLOW PROJECT
The pattern also includes instructions for making a 20” x 20” quilted pillow cover using just one Star System.
