Seeing Stars pattern
Love this, made it with scrappy 30s look fabric line. I enlarged the blocks and made four-patches for the star centers. This quilt is beautiful and gets many raves!
Note: These are free downloadable instructions, no physical product will be sent.
We're so excited to share another free project with you! This one is called Seeing Stars, by Alex Anderson, and is from Make Star Quilts.
FINISHED QUILT: 48 1/2˝ × 54 1/2˝
FINISHED BLOCK: 6˝ × 6˝
TOTAL NUMBEROF STAR BLOCKS: 27
I love Star quilts, so I guess it’s no surprise that I would include one in this book. I decided to emphasize the star motif by making the star points darker than the star centers (or “bellies”) and—taking my cue from modern quilters—chose a fresh, sparkling white for the background. As a finishing touch, I dropped in a few random polka dot squares for visual interest and to complement the polka dots I used in some of the blocks.

I’ve just completed my favorite quilt to date, Alex Anderson’s ”Seeing Stars”. Easy to follow instructions, fun to put together. I have a second one in mind with completely different color way.
