Solids quilt

Night Stars – Robert Kaufman Color of the Year – Enchanted

It’s time for the brand new Kona color of the year! The Robert Kaufman Kona color of the year is the gorgeous dark green color called Enchanted. I used the new color and made up a Night Stars quilt.

I was thrilled when Robert Kaufman reached out to ask if I would make a quilt using this new COTY. I made up the latest Quilty Love quilt pattern with it since it would highlight this new color so nicely.

Robert Kaufman kona solids are pretty much the only solids you will find in my stash. They have hundreds of colors and a nifty little swatch book to help plan out which colors to use.

The colors used in this quilt are Cypress, Ivory, Ice Frappe and Enchanted. I kept it monochromatic with this version. I love how it turned out!

The new Enchanted COTY serves as the background of this quilt along with the star centers.

These colors are rich and beautiful. The lighter colored cream stars tone down the bolder colors.

This Night Stars quilt was quilted by a local quilter. I kept it simple with one inch spaced waved lines.

I used Enchanted for the backing and binding of this star quilt. This feels like such a classic quilt with the simpler selection of colors.

This quilt will be traveling around the US (world?) for the next year in the Robert Kaufman COTY trunk show. It will be one of the six quilts in the COTY collection.

Night Stars can be found in my pattern shop. This the throw size version. It’s a nice generous throw size. The pattern also includes instructions for a baby size and a queen size.

Night Stars is a bold star quilt that has a few fun quilting techniques such as quarter square triangles, half square triangles and flying geese.

You can find Night Stars in the Quilty Love pattern Shop.

Enchanted by Robert Kaufman is available at your favorite quilt shops.

Night Stars Quilt – A bold star quilt pattern

I’m so excited to share this new pattern today! The Night Stars quilt pattern is brand new and in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Night Stars Quilt Pattern

This quilt pattern is something a little different for me! The stars are no surprise along with the repeating blocks ;) But the bold colors are! Night stars is written around using yardage but also includes instructions for fat quarters.

Choose 5 of your favorite colors to make up this bold and striking quilt. Night Stars was designed with Christmas in mind so it will make for the prettiest Christmas quilt. Check out the Christmas color mock ups below.

I used the Alison Glass Kaleidoscope fabrics for my version. These are a cotton linen. I really love quilting with linens because of that extra texture but definitely know they behave differently than cottons. This blog post talks about quilting with linen.

Using the bold blue as a the background for this quilt was such a fun change! I tend to stick with whites so much mostly because I always have it on hand. I definitely want to branch out more with color like this.

Colors and yardage used for this throw size:
Lichen – 3/8 yard
Goldenrod – 5/8 yard
Daisy – 2 1/2 yards
Opal – 1 1/3 yards
Sapphire – 2 yards
Binding is Goldenrod.

Kona Colors
If you want to stick with Robert Kaufman Kona colors, here are the match ups:
A-Windsor, B-Azure (or Aqua), C-Ivory, D-Curry, E-Mustard

Night Stars makes for the prettiest bed quilt! Instructions include up to queen size. It was so much fun styling this quilt on my daughters bed. It looks so cozy on a bed.

Quilting

Night Stars was quilted by my local quilter in this pretty loopy swoopy design. Ha… I have no idea how to describe quilt designs. I wanted something a little more flowing to go with the sharp points of the stars in this quilt. This quilt design gave it so much gorgeous texture.

Quick and easy

Quilty Trees is a quick and easy quilt to make up! Most quilters will be able to have this one done in a day or a weekend.

I pulled a variety of solid greens for my version of Quilty Trees. I added the gingham and a subtle speckled print for some fun contrast.

This quilt is quilted on my machine using my favorite wavy stitch. It quilted up the exact same way as the multi zig zag stitch but uses the wavy stitch instead.

I kept this quilt soft and modern by using this subtle cream fabric for the backing and binding. I tend to use the backing as the binding often since it is the perfect way to use up all of that excess fabric from the backing. This quilt reminds me a little of the farmhouse style that is popular right now.

Make it scrappy

The Quilty Trees quilt pattern includes a full on scrappy option too! The instructions are included to make scrappy version using your scrap stash. I’m excited to make up this quilt below using my low volume scraps as the background and my greens as the trees.

Use multiple squares for the trees or use one fabric for the trees and a have a scrappy background.

Below is the colorful and playful Ruby Star baby version of Quilty Trees. I’m lovingly referring to this one as the Dr. Seuss tree quilt :)

Use solids or prints

I used my leftover At Then Came June Kona bundles for two Quilty Stars baby quilts. I separated the colors out into two different versions. This baby size doesn’t need a lot of fabric so it was great for these leftover pieces.

Beginner friendly quilt pattern

Quilty Stars is a good beginner friendly quilt pattern. The measurements leave plenty of room for trimming up perfectly sized half square triangles. The trimmings of these two solid quilts were too pretty not to photograph :)

The original Quilty Stars Quilt is made up using prints from my scrap bins so I wanted to see how this quilt might look in solids. It turned out so fun in these range of colors. Each quilt sticks with two colorways to keep it a bit more cohesive.

All the quilt sizes

The Quilty Stars quilt pattern includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and king size. It also includes instructions for a solid background like these quilts or a super scrappy background.
