This Classic Quilt is So Easy to Make

Make the Versatile Pattern into Any Block and Quilt Size!

This vintage quilt pattern is so easy to make. The overall design comes from the sashing, while the blocks are all simple squares of fabric.

The pieced sashing forms stars between the blocks. It’s quick, easy and a great pattern for showing off your favorite fabrics.

Lori’s Morning Star quilt.

Make it up in coordinated fabrics, perhaps from a layer cake, or mix and match for a scrappy look. Whatever palette you choose is sure to be beautiful in this quilt.

Mary’s Morning Star quilt.

You can also fussy cut the square blocks or applique a favorite motif on them.

Jacque’s Morning Star quilt.

Jeanette’s Morning Star quilt.

Marly’s Morning Star quilt.

This is a wonderfully versatile pattern and perfect for when you need to finish a quilt quickly. It’s also a great first quilt for beginning quilters.

The tutorial, from Quilter’s Cache, gives instructions for any block and quilt size. Therefore, exact yardage is not specified nor are exact cutting instructions.

Don’t worry, there’s an easy formula that will allow you to make your blocks and stars whatever size you like. The example is for a block-plus-sashing that finishes at 12″.

There are also several examples to spur your creativity. Be sure to visit page 3 of the 3-page tutorial to see them all.

why do you make it so hard to get the pattern? I hate having to go through all these stupid download requirements and I don’t like having to keep installing more things on my computer. Just make the instructions easier to get at without jumping through so many hoops all the time

Ann, it sounds like you clicked on an ad by mistake. Click the link in the yellow box at the end of the article and you’ll go right to the instructions.

Thanks. I won’t download much anymore. Each download is another opportunity for a virus to invade. It is discouraging, so i didn’t do it. Will look for it or similar on Youtube.
