The Sea Star quilt pattern is a great combination of a plus sign block and a star block. The pattern contains instructions for 5 different quilt sizes including baby, lap, twin, queen, and king as well as fabric requirements and cutting instructions for several different colorway versions of the design.
- The first version (cover quilt) is made with fat quarters and/or ¼ yard cuts for the plus signs and half square triangles (HSTs) with a single fabric for the background.
- The second version is a two-tone version using a single fabric for the plus signs and HSTs and a single fabric for the background.
- The third version is a completely scrappy version, giving fabric piece amounts to create scrappy plus signs, HSTs, and/or background.
I had some absolutely wonderful quilty women pattern test and review for me and you can see all of their variations on the pattern below. Seven of my testers are holding giveaways for the digital version of the pattern so you have 7 chances to win!
- Shauna @ Shauna's World
- Hayley @ MooBird Stitches
- Shelley @ The Carpenter's Daughter Who Quilts
- Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts
- Chelsea @ Patch the Giraffe
- Paige @ PTAlexanderSC (Instagram)
- Anna @ Fresh Dew Drops
Please hop over to their blogs and enter :) And now onto the parade...
Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts used yellow and orange fabrics in her baby sized version. She used the same print within each grouping of 3 HST making a cool secondary star pattern.
Hayley @ Moobird Stitches used soft yellows and aquas to create an wonderful ombre effect in her baby sized version.
Shelley @ The Carpenters Daughter Who Quilts used some cute puppy print fabrics for the pluses and coordinating solids for the half square triangles.
Camille @ (IG - Camillesquilting) used pink solids against a low volume scrappy background to create this sweet lap sized quilt.
Anna @ (Fresh Dew Drops) used yellows for her half square triangles and gray for her plus signs.
Rita - used 30's reproduction fabrics with a pattern fabric for her background.
Just as a reminder: You can find the pattern in my pattern shop (digital and printed versions) and on Etsy.
Congrats! They are all gorgeous. I love the scrappy take with the negative space.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new design, Cheryl. Each of the pattern testers' work turned out great and it is so nice to see everyone's version!
ReplyDeleteCheryl - That is a great design. It's simple and elegant. The pattern highlights the fabrics you chose. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design. Thanks for sharing the different versions.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love a pattern like this which looks so different with every fabric combination.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the twist on the plus quilt, and in each quilt the pattern forms a little different arrangement depending on value and colour placement. So clever!! =)
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices! Beautiful quilt design. I can see this being very, very popular. I love all the other color combinations from your testers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design and gorgeous quilts. I cannot decide which one is most beautiful, I love them all.
ReplyDeleteI like this pattern, it's very pleasing to the eye. All the color combos look great. I really like the vintage look of the 1930's fabric. I think I would try a controlled Scrappy version.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner for sure! I just love that you provide so many different sizes and variations with your patterns. I saw this one at Chelsea's yesterday and immediately thought "This would look awesome in 2 colours" and then this morning, I see that you provide fabric requirements for a 2-tone version. You are just amazing! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the new pattern! Perfect for all the fat quarters I collect 😊
ReplyDeleteLots of great color options. Fun quilt parade.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another pattern release, Cheryl! The design looks fantastic, and I love all the test versions
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see everyone's different take on this pattern. I love the one with the negative space.
ReplyDeleteGreat design Cheryl! All of the quilts look great.
ReplyDeleteAnother home run!! I just love the versatility of this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome design and seeing the different colors used by your testers is really great. It is just amazing how the different fabric choices really make the eye go to either the star or the plus first. Great job done by all! :)
