Create a Striking Quilt from Fat Quarters or Scraps

| It’s Beautiful In Any Color Theme!
Stars and classic patchwork combine for an eye-catching quilt. Negative space allows the stars to shine while creating an intriguing overall design.
This is an excellent project for scraps, or choose a beautiful combination of fat quarters. Give the quilt a scrappy look or a more coordinated color theme. Either way, you’ll create a creative and charming quilt.
We’ve included several examples from the designer’s website to get you started. You’ll find more here.

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!
