Starlight

I am a huge fan of Alyce at Blossom Heart Quilts. I have followed her blog since I first started sewing and have learnt so much from her great tutorials and general advice.


So when she put out the call for pattern testers for her latest pattern, Starlight, I jumped straight in, especially as making a baby quilt was on the top of my to-do list!

The pattern gives instructions for five different sizes of quilt from a mini quilt to the size that I made, 36" square. I especially loved that I could make this quilt from a selection of fat quarters, and was able to choose some really fun fabrics from my stash that I have been hoarding for a while!


I added some borders to make the quilt a little larger.


For the back I found half a meter of a baby fabric that I bought years ago in Spotlight, that amazingly matched perfectly with the colours I had chosen for the front!


If you would like to see the blocks that the other pattern testers made then check them out here!

Thanks Alyce for another great pattern!

  4. It's a shining star of a quilt!! I like the stripe top and bottom borders that you added too, the colour boosts the colours of the center star.
