Best Winter Star Quilt Patterns for Cozy Season Sewing
When the snow starts flying, there’s no better place to be than at the sewing machine with a cup of something warm. These four star quilt patterns are some of my favorites for winter sewing. They’re all Phoebe Moon designs, and you’ll find them only at Connecting Threads as downloadable PDF quilt patterns, so you can print yours and start cutting today.
Whether you want a quick project or a big bed quilt to keep you busy until spring, there’s a star here with your name on it.
Winter Stroll
Stars are skewed, and then they’re not! Winter Stroll plays a little trick on the eye, but the sewing itself is simple, so this one comes together quickly. It’s a great pick if you want a showstopper without a stack of fussy steps.
Finished size: 68″ x 84″
Snowflake Sparkle
Colorful stars twirl across a calm background like snowflakes caught in the porch light. Snowflake Sparkle is block based and pieced on the diagonal. It uses a couple of techniques that build your skills, like making 8 half-square triangles at a time and working with bias-cut blocks. Confident beginners and intermediate quilters will enjoy the challenge.
Finished size: 56″ x 74″ • Five colors plus background
Nestled Star
All roads lead to the star in this bed-size quilt. Diagonal lines keep your eye moving around the whole top, and the open spaces are just begging for some beautiful quilting. If you’ve got a long winter ahead and a bed that needs dressing, this is your project.
Finished size: 86″ x 98″
Galaxy of Stars
For long winter nights, here’s a whole sky full of stars. Galaxy of Stars is a big, dazzling quilt that becomes the focal point of any bedroom. It’s meant for intermediate quilters and uses seven colors set against a generous background.
Finished size: 96″ square • For intermediate quilters
Which Star Will You Stitch First?
Pick the one that fits your winter. Winter Stroll is the quickest finish. Snowflake Sparkle is a fun skill builder. Nestled Star and Galaxy of Stars are the big, cozy bed quilts for the long haul. Any way you slice it (and cut it, and press it), you’ll have a starry quilt by the time the snow melts.
Happy quilting!
