Deck-ade the Halls: Star-Studded


Today we are proud to introduce the next block in our Deck-ade the Halls Quilt Along! Your quilt will shine brightly with Star-Studded blocks scattered about.

We are huge fans of star blocks over at Fat Quarter Shop. We love the dazzling effect they give off in quilts! The Star-Studded blocks are no exception. The alternating dark and light fabric create an illusion of sparkle, and the blocks are scattered to bring that sparkle all over the quilt.

You can find all the patterns for this fun novelty Christmas quilt in our Peppermint Lane Block of the Month Book. We have seen blocks in blues, blocks in reds and a whole bunch more on our Flickr group. Get creative, and be sure to post your block photos to Flickr!

You can find all the patterns for this fun novelty Christmas quilt in our Peppermint Lane Block of the Month Book. We recorded a little video tutorial to walk you through the block assembly. Watch Kimberly put the Star-Studded blocks together in our YouTube video! She shows you how to make corner squares and half square triangles, the two essential techniques in this block. The stars will come together in a cinch!

Check back to our Deck-ade the Halls page in two weeks for the Vintage Ornaments pattern and instructional video. Happy piecing!

  1. Can't wait to get started. My fabric kit arrived while I was on vacation and now I'm enjoying time with my 4yr old grandson this week so I'll be playing catch up next week unless I can find time to get started this week.
