Seeking Ideas for star sampler quilt
I've been thinking I'd like to make a star sampler quilt for a young couple who just got engaged. They were over for a visit, the first time they had been to our home even though we've known them for a few years.... they were amazed at the entire quilting process and very appreciative of the work involved.
I'd like to do a sampler quilt of different star patterns, with a common size of 12 1/2 inch squares, or a variety of star patterns/sizes that mesh together to make a throw sized quilt, as a gift for them.
I'm open to purchasing a pattern or book if someone can recommend one.
I'm not fond of searching forever trying to accumulate free patterns unless I can see the actual star pattern without clicking on a link to view each one. I find that frustrating....

I used Google and searched for Star Sampler Quilt Pattern. These are images https://www.google.com/search?q=star...ih=650#imgrc=_ If you click on one of the pictures, it may give you a link to the original website.

Craftsy has a great sale going on right now. I love the Jinny Beyer quilt which alternates log cabin with different paper pieced stars. It’s 50% off. I’m thinking of ordering it. Just have so many UFOs, which I’m sure so many of you can relate to. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The quilt in a day "All Star Sampler" has been on my bucket list for a while now:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NG133F4...a-303670646358
If you look on you tube, there is a detailed video for all the stars used.
Not exactly a traditional 12X12 sampler, but still beautiful.
I have the book, been gathering the fabrics... Maybe 2018 will be the year!

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, I found what I wanted on the Windham fabrics website - there are about 1,000 free patterns there!
