Create a Cheerful Quilt from Your Stash
| July 16, 2025 | Quilt Ideas
A More Coordinated Color Palette is Beautiful Too!
A patterned background sets this scrappy quilt apart, adding to its cheerful personality. Of course, you can use more traditional white or another solid color, or try low-volume prints to enhance the scrappy look.
This is a great project for shopping your stash. Choose a wide variety of prints for a scrappy, endearing look. A more coordinated color theme will also be beautiful.
The stars are made from half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, and squares-in-squares. New quilters will find it’s a great project for expanding their skills and mastering the construction of those basic units.
Designer Caitlin from Cait Lisle Designs provides instructions for the following:
- Throw – 60″ x 60″
- Queen – 90″ x 90″
- Throw Pillow – 17″ x 17″ (made from one square)
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!
