100+ Bedazzling Star Quilt Patterns for Beginners and Beyond

This post contains affiliate links for which I receive compensation.


Updated: 4-12-24

If you ask a quilter what her favorite quilt is, more than likely it'll be a star quilt pattern of some sort--Friendship, Sawtooth, Lone Star, LeMoyne to name a few.

This is an eclectic collection of 100+ star quilt patterns for beginners to more  advanced quilters. The goal was to create something versatile enough so that those without much experience can comfortably execute their own vision/version based on the given instructions.

The secret to stitching reliably accurate star quilts and blocks

Like virtually every other quilt block you make, a star block is constructed sewing a straight line from Point A to Point B. 

The general quilting recommendations apply: cut, pin, stitch, and press accurately.

To achieve this, I encourage you to:

  • Construct a sample block to test the instructions. Make sure the techniques in the pattern complement your piecing skills.

Pressing is terribly important. A good press job means there are no tucks at the seams. That the patches aren't distorted as the patches are pressed. Seam allowances don't add any unnecessary bulk.

Have a look at my 'secret' technique for pressing. Quick. Simple.

And you won't need to buy a wooden clapper that seem to be the rage in quilting circles these days.

Let's get to the good stuff!

Find the perfect star quilt patterns for beginners and beyond

This tempting selection of star quilt patterns includes both paid and free quilt patterns. Free patterns are marked with a highlighted FREE in the title for your convenience.

Now, kick back with something soothing to sip on and enjoy the inspo!
