First one of these I made was a group quilt used to teach beginner quilters. Second one I made using Christmas fabrics for myself-still needs to be quilted. A fun and easy quilt to do that looks spectacular and harder than it is. Star points are just triangles sewn onto the sashing strips.

We were given a queen size quilt like this for our wedding gift from my Mother, Brothers and sister-in-law, nieces and nephew. We love it! It's middle of summer here in Australia - that's why it's folded up - still bring it up duringthe night when the airconditioning turns chilly ;) Mum and Deidre made half each from their stashes of 5" charm squares - put both halves together and did not manage to get any same ones together!! Clever girls! (Mum was 73 at the time of making it - she's a real inspiration! - and is still quilting to this day!!

Really like this quilt. Would like a pattern or a tute. Thanks for sharing.

Looks really good!!!! That quilting worked well on it, too.

8 pt stars on sashings are really easy. The Mary Ellen Hopkins method is to line up star point A with one sashing corner, then sew on the diagonal and fold. Be sure to hold/pin the folded piece in place. Then line up the square for star pt B with the other side of the sashing, sew and fold. I will try for a tut later in the week.

Once you have the quilt pieces cut out, most of the work is in preparing the sashing bits. This is not a hard quilt, but can be tedious if you do a big one.

You could cut and piece, like a standard flying goose block, but this works really well with muslin, as nothing shows through. I have used this sort of cornerstone on a number of different quilts as it looks much harder than it is.

I really like this pattern. It was one of the first quilt patterns I made.

Nice to see the sunset one. Great job. Never thought of it in other than the scrappy version!

I gave my grandson the scrappy one this year for Xmas. I saw it in a quilt magazine!

What is this actual pattern name? It is so beautiful. Rootyr - do you remember what magazine this was in?

That's a spectacular sunset!!! Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful scrappy quilt

Ooooh, love that, maybe I'll just be doing scrappies cause I love, love love
