Star Pattern
 

Anybody have a favorite star pattern. I have done Lucky Stars but want to do one in RED, White and Blue. Any suggestions

I love Carpenter Stars, but for r/w/b, I would use Ohio stars. Eleanor Burns did one years ago that worked up nicely.

Try the YouTube tute by Missouri star quilt company. It is really a nice quilt and I am already picking fabric for it in three colors

I love the Feathered Star. I have made several of them.

Here is a layout with alternating Ohio Star blocks and snowball blocks-

I would probably piece the star parts of the blocks a different way as I would prefer not to have the extra seams. They are flying geese units if pieced with no seam.

There was an absolutely AWESOME RWB quilt a few months ago, here on this board. It was pieced by mhansen6, and quilted by amandasgramma. The pattern itself is named Eldon by Eydita Sitar, pattern available at Hancock's, as well as the templates, but you could make your own templates. That is next on my (overflowing) bucket list: seems like a little work, but well worth it. Can't wait

I love the Ribbon Star in RWB. Just Google for Ribbon Star, and you'll find lots of pics.

Any star block would work well in RWB. I do love the Ohio Star but any would be lovely.
peace

Here's the one Moda used last year for a collection of blocks they assembled for, I think, 100 quilts.

Since I watched the tutorial on Missouri Quilt Co., my favorite is the Lemoyne Star! Jenny has a super easy way of making it. I also love the Carpenter's Star but haven't tackled that one as yet...It's on my bucket list.

I did an Ohio Star this year, and it was a blast to do! Check it out at: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...ml#post5367557

I just recently made a Strata Star. I didn't have a pattern, so made some mistakes. It should have taken less than a day to do the star, but after my boo-boo, it sat for a day before I got the nerve to fix it, so it was more like 4 days before it got done. Looks OK now.

Bonnie Hunter (quiltville.com) has a beautiful free Ohio Star pattern in red, white, and blue. Check it out here: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...ars-rails.html

Thanks for taking the time to give me some great ideas

Beautiful, just what I was looking for. Yhank you!

I looked for Lemoyne Star with Jenny but couldn't find it. Maybe a link to that tute please?

I found a pattern on quilterscache called "The Marine's Star" that is done in red, white, and blue. It is paper pieced and that might not be your thing but I do want to try it someday for my son, who served. I don't call him an ex-Marine because "Once a Marine, always a Marine".

I love the Carpentar Star block but I"m a star fan.

Here's Jenny Doan's "Big Block Star Quilt" tutorial on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkm3nCferp4
I am making 2 king size quilts of it right now.

My all time favorite is the 8-pointed star, as it can look entirely different with color placement. I have done it with red, white and blue stars for a family reunion quilt and it was beautiful, even if I do say so myself.

I'd think the Carpenter's Wheel (star if you prefer) would be great in red and blue with the white for the background. All batiks of course.

I found it under the tutorial called "THE BIG STAR QUILT" on Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorials....
