starlight starbright quilt tutorial

Hello there! It’s Day 4 of the Stitch ‘n Kitchen Holiday Blog Tour hosted by Riley Blake Designs & I am going to share my Starlight Starbright Quilt tutorial with PDF download & my mom’s famous Oatmeal Cookie Recipe.

Handed down from generation to generation.

Wait a minute ….. {it’s only been passed down to me} ….. but now I’m going to share it with all of you.

Christmas is just around the corner but there is still plenty of time to make some homemade gifts for your friends and family, so let’s get started …..

Ingredients:

9 - 5″ squares from white fabric
36 - 5″ squares from white fabric {cut diagonal to make 72 triangles}
72 - 5″ squares from your favorite Christmas prints
quilt batting
1¼ yard of Christmas fabric for backing
5 - 2½” width of fabric strips for binding

Serving size:

41″ square.

———————————————————————————————————-

Directions:

Using your 36 of your 5” squares from Christmas prints & your 72 triangles we are going to create the star points.

Lay your triangle right sides together with your 5″ square and stitch 1/4″ from the seam on the long side of the triangle. Trim, press open & repeat on the other side.

Helpful tips:

♥ To create a nice overlap, be sure to lay the top part of your triangle a little further than the half way mark on your 5″ square. See diagrams.

♥ Position the bottom part of your triangle piece a little bit different each time to create the various size star points.

Square up your star point unit to 5″. Make 36.

Using one 5″ white square, four star point units, and four 5″ Christmas print squares you will make a star block.

Stitch them together & repeat until you have 9 star blocks.

Stitch together your star blocks in 3 rows of 3.

Finishing:

Quilt and bind.

I’m surely not the first person to make a wonky star quilt ….. but i wanted to share my Starlight Starbright Recipe with you today & hope you love this fun Christmas version with a blend of pretty Riley Blake fabrics accenting nine white wonky stars.

Making time:

one afternoon - add extra time for household responsibilities, jobs, children and cats sleeping on your fabric.
