There is something so calming about a quilt in deep indigo blues, and this free Shibori Star pattern captures exactly that feeling. Finishing at a cosy 56" x 56", it takes the timeless beauty of indigo-toned fabrics and arranges them into a bold, glowing star that looks wonderful draped over the back of a sofa or wrapped around your shoulders on a quiet evening.
Here is why this one is worth making:
- It is a soothing palette to work with. The indigo blues shift gently from light to dark, so the star seems to softly radiate from the centre without any fussy piecing.
- The size is just right. At 56" x 56" it is generous enough to be a proper lap quilt, yet small enough to finish without feeling like a marathon.
- It welcomes calm, mindful sewing. The blocks come together in a steady rhythm, making it a lovely project to sink into on a slow afternoon.
