Try Other Layouts, Too!
Star blocks linked by Chain blocks create a striking quilt with many design options. In the example, the blocks are arranged to create one large star in a design that makes a big impact.
Depending on how you lay out the blocks, you can create several other designs. While the quilt looks complex, it’s easy enough for confident beginners and a fun project for your inner designer.
Start with a focal print and use that to create a coordinated color palette. Choose fabrics from one fabric line or create your own combination.

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!
