some star quilts

Last year a friend asked me to make four quilts for his special family occasion. Here are the four quilts my mom and I made:

A Star Quilt for Isla

My mom pieced the top of this quilt for my little Isla. That was before she was born. She just turned 18 months so I thought it was time to finish it!

I chose a banana print from 5 Funky Monkeys to as backing. I really love the playfulness of it and it suits her well.


My mom always makes star quilts for those she loves, this is a beautiful one!

Star Quilts

My mom taught me a couple years ago how to make a star quilt. I hadn't done it on my own until now. Using Best Press and careful sewing, it makes a quick and easy pattern!



Above, I used prints from DS Quilts, all fabrics I purchased recently from Arizona at Jo-Ann's. They were discounted to 3$ a yard! Of the 50+ yards I bought this is the first project I made :)



The other night the local Fabricland had a sale on their Heritage Quilting cottons so I decided to pair these colors together with some Kona snow and make another star.

Seven Point Star!

I paper pieced this seven-point star yesterday, which was so easy! It's a free pattern from sewhooked.com, by Jennifer Ofenstein. Here is the link to the pattern. Try it yourself!
