If you have a soft spot for a star quilt, this free Stars Aflutter pattern is a real beauty. It gathers a whole sky of different star blocks, some crisp and pointed, some framing a pretty floral centre, and sets them against gentle sashing so each one has room to shine. At a generous 76" x 98" it makes a wonderful quilt for a bed.
Here is why this one is worth making:
- Every block is a little different. The mix of star styles keeps the whole quilt interesting to piece, so you never grow bored and you learn a few blocks along the way.
- It is a lovely showcase for a soft floral. Those framed centres let a gentle print you love take a starring role, surrounded by the pieced stars.
- It comes in three moods. The pattern offers three different colour stories, so you can go cool and serene or soft and blossom bright depending on the room it is heading to.
