Star Fall Quilt – A simple star quilt pattern

April 19, 2020

Star Fall is a brand new quilt pattern in the Quilty Love shop! Star Fall is a simple yet bold sawtooth star quilt pattern.

Yardage quilt

Star Fall is a nice quick and easy quilt pattern that uses 5 different solids or prints or even your scrap stash. The baby sizes uses 1/4 yards or fat quarters and the throw size uses half yards.

3 quilt sizes

Star Fall includes instructions for a crib size, throw size and a king size. The star quilt block expands with each size so the layout is the exact same for all three quilt sizes.

Solids Star Fall quilt

This throw size version of the Star Fall quilt uses Robert Kaufman solids:
Cypress, Azure, Pacific, Curry and Ice Frappe.

The green on the end of this quilt is Kona Cotton in the color Cypress and it may be a new favorite! It’s such a beautiful color green.

Wavy quilting

Star Fall is quilted up using the serpentine stitch on my Janome sewing machine. This stitch is so good! It looks good on every single quilt and its super easy to do. It’s basically straight line quilting using a walking foot and the machine makes the waves.

For this quilt the lines are spaced at one inch. The stitch length is 3 and the width is 6.

When quilting straight lines I like to first quilt every other line (so two inches apart) and then go back through and fill in the lines in between. I start on one edge and work all the way to the other edge without flipping the quilt. You could also start in the middle do half the quilt and then flip and repeat on the other side.

Quilt backing

The backing fabric is a Basic Grey print by Moda. It’s from the Metropolis line. I really love using a neutral backing for quilts that are full of color or pattern on the front. The black backing keeps this star quilt super modern and fun.

Binding

This quilt is finished off with a 1/4 inch black and white striped binding. It’s been a while since I’ve used a striped binding so I thought it would be a good way to finish off this quilt.
