The Stars Align Quilt Pattern

March 6, 2020March 6, 2020 2 comments

Hi Friends!

Today I want to share some images of one of my newer quilt patterns, The Stars Align. 

The Stars Aligned Quilt Pattern, featured by top quilting blog, Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs, shows off a new star quilt pattern!

Last fall for Quilt Market, I made my first version of this fun star quilt pattern using fabrics from Batik Textiles.

The line I used for this The Stars Align quilt pattern is called Puffin Ridge and the background fabric has these animal footprints that I just love. So fun! 

The colors are rich and deep and it seemed to really fit with the time of year- fall!

Then I made (well I partly made and my daughter Alyssa finished the piecing for me) another version of The Stars Align quilt using the new fabric line Delight from Tamara Kate for Michael Miller fabrics.

And this one feels like spring!

Don’t you just love how different fabrics can change the look and feel of a pattern?

At first glance, this block looks like a normal star block. But then you notice something is different and figure out the points aren’t the same on all sides!

It’s fun to take a block and give it a spin and make it a little different!

In this second version, I also added another fabric for the center of the star blocks because I wanted to use the dots fabric. I love how the quilt came out!

What colors would you make this quilt in?

    That is so pretty and very unique. At first I thought I would make it in red/white/blue, but you really need six or seven colors, so I think I would go to the LQS and pick 5 pastel batiks or 5 jewel tones that really contrast with 2-3 others. It’s so pretty in both the colorways that you’ve shown, and so tempting to make it just like the first one.

      Susan,
      I am so glad you like the quilt! I think sometimes trying to come up with other color ways can be so fun. Have fun picking fabrics for this!
