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.

Since I quilted these baby quilts myself I went with my favorite wavy stitch pattern. It’s simple, easy and so forgiving. Plus, look at that texture!

I have a similar tutorial for this kind of quilting here. Swap out the multi stitch zig zag setting for the wavy stitch on your machine.

Our little babes is already 6 months old! I brought her outside for a fun photo shoot with these two new baby quilts.

Make Quilty Stars for your next quick and easy baby quilt! Use up that stash of scraps or fat quarters for this fun scrappy star quilt

Quilty Stars Quilt pattern – The Scrappy blue one

There is a brand new scrappy star quilt pattern in the Quilty Love shop today! I’m excited to tell you all about the Quilty Stars quilt pattern!

Join the slow summer scrappy sew along starting in July!

Quilty Stars quilt pattern is a scrap friendly quilt pattern

This new star quilt pattern is inspired by my scrap bins ;) I’ve been itching to make another scrappy quilt to help use up those scraps we all love to stash. Quilty Stars quilt pattern is a scrap buster or stash buster for sure!

The test block is made up full on scrappy. The pattern includes instructions for a scrappy background as shown in the block below or a solid background as shown in the cover version.

This pattern is designed around digging through those scrap bins. I tried to keep the sizes compatible with fabric sizes you might find in your own scrap bin.

All the quilt sizes

Quilty Stars includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and a king size.

Fat quarter, fat eighth and charm friendly

Feel free to dig through your stash for fat quarters, charm packs or fat eighths also! Any of those will also work for this quilt pattern.

Low volume background or solid background

I’m super excited to make up the scrappy version and hopefully make a dent in my scrap bins. I’m using a variety of low volume fabrics for my background. Low volume fabrics are the fabrics that read more neutral. They may still be a print but they are light in color and contrast nicely with a bold color.

For the cover version, I used my very favorite scrappy color choice….blue! If I could only ever quilt with one color again, it would have to be blue. Please don’t ever make me make that choice though…ha

I made up a few sample blocks in different colors below. I’m thinking I should just finish the rainbow and make a rainbow quilt :)

Monochromatic or colorful

Scrap quilts are such interesting quilts to make! All of the different prints mixed together make them so fun and pretty. Stick with a monochromatic color scheme like this blue one or go scrappy crazy with all of the different colors! There really is a lot of variety within this quilt pattern.

Star quilt block

The other thing that inspired this quilt besides scraps is the star pattern. I created it with the Fourth of July in mind. How fun would it be in a red, white and blue version?!

I don’t have a lot of red scraps in my scrap bins so I just stuck with blue and white ;)

I kept this version all blue and white with a blue Bonnie and Camille basics polka dot backing and a navy Time Treasures striped binding.

Compass Star Quilt Pattern-The Alison Glass one

Today I’m sharing another Compass Star quilt with you all! This is one of my favorite quilts to photograph! The vibrant colors of this Road Trip fabric made for the prettiest quilt.

The Compass Star quilt pattern is available in the Quilty Love shop.

Alison Glass sent over some of this gorgeous Road Trip fabric around the time I was designing this Compass Star quilt pattern. So I promptly cut into it and sewed up a throw size quilt.

This star quilt is a mix and match fat quarter quilt so this fabric bundle worked perfectly for that. I love making mix and match fat quarter quilts like this because it’s a fun way to include a lot of different fabrics. I’m convinced Compass Star will work great with just about any fat quarter bundle. Here is the original done up in solids.

Compass Star Quilt Pattern

Compass Star is a block based quilt pattern good for the beginner or the novice.

This star quilt pattern includes 5 different sizes! Make it in baby size, throw sizes, twin size, queen size or king size. Refer to the shop listing photos for fabric requirements

So far, I have made two different throw sizes. I’m itching to make up a cute little baby size quilt too.

I set this vibrant fabric on a white background so it really pops. The white is Kona cotton in the color snow.

This Road Trip Compass Star quilt is backed in a fun metallic dot fabric by Riley Blake. The metallic dots keep it exciting but toned down compared to the super bright front.

The binding on this star quilt is a simple stripe from the Road Trip fabric line. It’s called Happy Union Jack. I always love a good striped binding!

Quilting on this throw size quilt was done by Kaitlyn of Knot and Thread Design. I kept it simple and modern with this wavy quilting design. I’m pretty sure this quilting design would look good on any quilt.
