A star quilt that forgives your points
Star Spangled is ten pages, four sizes and not one point you have to match. The white sashing between the blocks does that work for you. Put your email in and the PDF opens on the next page.

What is in the ten pages
- Four sizes already worked out: throw, twin, queen and king
- The yardage for all seventeen fabrics, on one page
- A cutting list with a box to check off as you go
- Flying geese four at a time, with the trimming figured out
- Layout diagrams for every size, so you see it before you cut
No perfect points
The sashing sits between the blocks, so nothing has to meet across a seam. Your corners stay your own business.
Beginner, and it means it
If you can sew a straight quarter inch seam and press it flat, you can make this quilt.
Scrappy if you want
Eight reds, eight blues and white on the cover quilt. Use what is already in your stash instead and the arithmetic still holds.
Where a star quilt usually goes wrong
Most star patterns ask you to match eight points at the center of a block, then match those blocks to each other. One seam off and the whole top tells on you.
- Blocks turned any way you please, with no layout to memorize
- Sashing that absorbs the small differences between blocks
- Two block types, both nine inches finished
Star Spangled puts white sashing between every block, so each star stands on its own and the blocks can face any direction you like. Nobody will know which way you meant them to go.

Before you download
Is it really free?
Yes. Download it, print it, make it, teach it. There is nothing to buy to open it.
What size does it make?
Four of them: throw 61 1/2in x 72in, twin 72in x 93in, queen 93in x 93in and king 103 1/2in x 93in. The yardage for each one is in the pattern.
Do I need precut fabric?
No. The pattern is written for yardage, with the cutting list for every piece. If you do make it from a kit, the pattern tells you which section to skip.
How much fabric will I need?
The second page has the yardage for all seventeen fabrics in all four sizes, so you can price it before you commit to anything.
