I liked this FREE quilt pattern so well, I made two. Then I quadrupled it and made a big one. First of all, I have a thing for stars in quilts - all kinds of stars. When I saw this simple star design, I had to try it. Where did I find this wonderful pattern? At Bonjour Quilts when I signed up to receive Kirsty's newsletter via e-mail. You can fine it here:

So here are pictures of my versions. I used solid broadcloth as it is cheaper. I know it contains some polyester, but I donate these quilts so I have to watch expenses. This star was done in pastels. I used a walking foot and did some straight lines about half an inch apart.
The next one I made in primary colors and this was my husbands favorite. He especially liked the quilting which was also done with a walking foot and gold thread.

Now for the big one! It finished at 72 inches square. I quilted it the same as the one above with shiny gold thread.

I combined the colors in the smaller
quilts. |

The backing was nothing special,
just something I had on hand. |
