Split Stars Quilt Pattern

Happy Monday - and say hello to Split Stars, my newest pattern now available in the shop!

Split Stars pattern - crib size in Kona solids - pattern by Andy of A Bright Corner

Split Stars was originally published in Love Patchwork & Quilting Magazine a couple of years ago and is a modern take on a traditional star block.

This new version has a just a few small adjustments to the original design and - more importantly - I have added THREE new sizes to the pattern!

It now includes instructions for crib, throw, twin and queen size quilts.

This pretty blue version is the throw size (64" x 79") and uses prints from the Something Borrowed fabric line by Christopher Thompson

The throw size only needs 10 different prints, but it looks like more, doesn't it?  The way the blocks are paired up makes it appear as though more prints are used in the quilt.  Although now I'm thinking a completely scrappy version would be fun too!

This all-solids version is the crib size (49" x 64") and was made using six different Kona cotton solids.  (Kona colors used: CopenWindsorPoppySalmonSunflowerPeridot)

I just love how the personality of the quilt changes when it's made with all solids, don't you?

  4. Such a pretty quilt! Is it hard to line up those straight lines (splitting the star) from block to block? Yours are perfect.

    1. Thanks Marianne! It's not hard - when I go to sew the two block halves together I use a couple of pins to keep everything lined up.
