It Will Be Beautiful In Many Types of Quilt Projects!

This lovely classic star block will be a beautiful addition to many quilt projects. Feature the block on the front of a bag, finish it off for a table mat, or make several for a quilt.

The block was created as part of the Blockheads 5, Group 2 quilt-along. It’s Block 27 of 30 free blocks. You’ll find all of the block patterns here and articles about the blocks and ideas for making them into a sampler quilt here.

It’s a versatile design that works with any fabric collection, from traditional to modern. Strong contrasts make it quite striking while softer colors are simply lovely.

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!
