Colorful Star Blocks Are Striking in a Quilt Project

Quilting Digest | April 24, 2024 | Paper Piecing, Quilt Blocks

A More Limited Palette is Eye-Catching Too!

Make a big impact with your next project by including these beautiful star blocks. Whether you choose a rainbow of colors or a more limited palette the blocks are sure to stand out.

Several block sizes give you many options. Plus you can choose whether to color in the large star or reverse the position of the background and colors.

These blocks are a great way to use scraps. Smaller-sized blocks will make striking pot holders and trivets or combine several blocks to make a mini quilt, pillow, wall hanging, table runner, or even a full-size quilt.

Paper piecing is used to construct the blocks and achieve precise results. You’ll find an excellent paper piecing tutorial by Ingrid Alteneder from Joe June and Mae here.

Five block sizes are included in the pattern by Mariesa Morgan from Ten Cow Quilts:

6″ finished
8″ finished
9″ finished
10″ finished
12″ finished

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
