Scrappy Quilt - Pulsar is quilted
 

I made this quilt top over the winter and recently had it quilted. It already seems nice and cozy, like one that's been in the family forever. I just need to bind it.
I used a variety of scraps. Dark navy, indigo, and plum for the star points; peach and tan as the light colors; and then a good assortment of medium-valued colors to form strong diagonal patterns across the quilt.
The quilting is subtle, but done in peach thread with a cloud-like design. I like how it looks on the back.
The pattern is from a 1994 Quiltmaker magazine.

Happy sewing!

Such a pretty scrappy quilt. I love the colors you chose, the peach and tan neutrals are really lovely with the dark blue and plum star points and various colors.

You have an eye for color that I really envy - beautiful placement of fabrics!

Beautiful!! Color choices and there placement are perfect.

I am not sure why but I LOVE this quilt. You have a great eye for color. The quilt is just beautiful. Is there a pattern name? BrendaK

What a beautiful quilt. The colors and you placement really make this one stand out! Your workmanship is perfection!

Hi Brenda,
The pattern is called Pulsar and it appeared in the May/June 1994 issue of Quiltmaker (yes, 19 years ago, shown in the fabric if that time period - calicoes!). I can pass my pattern to you if you would like. the block is a version of "Providence Star" which is located on Quilter's Cache.
I made 28 blocks. Half of the blocks have tan sides; the other 14 blocks have peach sides.
Here is one block before the top was complete.

A stunning quilt!

very pretty

Oh, I love it! Colorful & I love stars & scrappy...Great job. Thanks for sharing... Did you scrap/s piles diminish any?

That quilt is spectacular. I love scrappy quilts and love the peach in the middle of the squares. Really nice.

That is just beautiful. Would you be able to give directions for making it. I would love to make one.

I don't know if I have that year Quiltmaker magazine. I have to go and have a look. Thank you

Beautiful !!!!!!!!

I really like the colors and the pattern you did a good job

Awesome as you say in the USA. I love it to pieces!!!! meticulous colour placement too giving the required effect throughout your quilt. Well done. I am sure you have a very tidy work room too, with attention to detail to that level?

Hi "JP". The quilting is just perfect. Adds another subtle dimension to Pulsar without taking away from fabrics, colors or pattern used.
