Stellar: A Fast Fat Quarter Star Quilt from Fresh Fat-Quarter Quilts

Stellar quilt with bright stars in pink, red, aqua, yellow, green, orange and blue on low volume rows

Hello, my quilty friends!

I'm so excited to have a turn on the book tour for my friend Andy's (@abrightcorner) brand new book, Fresh Fat-Quarter Quilts! I made the Stellar quilt, and I knew instantly when I saw it that I would be using a lot of low volume fabrics!

Why I love it

Low volumes plus bright stars. I mixed the low volumes with bright pops of color for the stars, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

It's fast. This quilt was so incredibly fast and fun to make, and it would be great for beginner quilters.

It's a great gift size. It finishes at 44.5" x 54.5", so it's the perfect size to gift a baby or toddler. But when my 10-year-old saw me making it, she fell in love with it! So this quilt might end up under the Christmas tree with her name on it. 🤶🏻

Get the book

There are so many other fun quilts in Andy's book, and since they're all fat quarter friendly, they're fun and easy to pull fabric for! Fresh Fat-Quarter Quilts is from Martingale. And if you're not following @abrightcorner yet, what are you waiting for? Not only is she one of the kindest humans I know, her feed is full of inspiration! ❤️

Love a fat quarter star quilt? My Economy Stars pattern uses 20 fat quarters, and every one gets cut the exact same way.

Happy sewing, my quilty friends!
