And here it is . . . the very last one!!! This is quilt 10 of my Charming Baby Quilts Remix's and I am so excited to share it. I think it is easily the most popular quilt from the book so I thought it would be fun to save it for last. And here it is . . . the A Star is Born Remix quilt!!!! Isn't it just so fun and happy!!!!
Ohh, I just love it!!!! This is another one that I plan to change out on my bed ;) I remixed the original design by changing out Layer Cake pieces for Charm Pack Pieces. So it is pieced the exact same way as the original only bigger, finishing at King Size 108" x 108". Oh, and I used Chambray for the background and I love that it gives it a fun denim look without the weight of denim. (Pattern Adjustment's here)
And speaking of the original, here is my A Star is Born quilt from
Charming Baby Quilts. As I said before, it has been the most popular quilt from the book, and I think it is obvious why ;) You just gotta love a good star quilt!!! And the King Size is just the same, only bigger. So whichever size you decide to make, it is truly a fun quilt to make!!!!
For this A Star is Born remix, I used
At Home fabrics by
Bonnie and
Camille for
Moda Fabrics!!! You will need 2 Layer Cakes for this and I used one of Bonnies and one of Camille's :)
I used Royal Chambray for the Background and it is just the perfect finish for this bed size stunner!!!
And when it came time to quilt it, I decided I on all over echoed paisley. I kept them fairly medium to large size as I wanted to quilting to match the large patchwork. And I am happy to say that the tension issue from the previously bad bobbin was totally fixed for this quilt and I was able to load, quilt and trim this entire king size beauty in under 3 hours ;)
And doesn't it just shine!!! I used a lovely denim colored thread that just blends so perfectly with the Chambray!! And I love how much texture it adds to the Chambray, which already has a great woven quality. So fun!!!

I'm so glad to see this beautiful star quilt in a king size! I used your suggestion before Christmas and finally got your baby book at Fat Quarter to snag the 40% off, plus I got the Star Quilt book you recommended that is mostly your amazing quilts. You write such good directions. I just gave away all my quilt books by another quilt institution, not FQ, because I am just too frustrated with their directions to tangle with them anymore! But, your directions are just so very clear. Your illustrations are clearly marked, too. So thank you! I have grandchildren now just starting to get married so I need king sized quilt patterns! Oh, happy days! Happy New Year to you and your family and to any readers of this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the instructions. I have a lot of layer cakes I'd love to make this with. You might want to adjust the size of your quilt in the post. I had to do a double take!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the PDF, I bought your book thinking I’d love to upsize some of the quilts and it’s totally going to happen now that I won’t be responsible for doing my own math!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for designing such an adorable book and then sharing the remix patterns in this PDF. I’ve already made two A Star is Born quilts and just finished a Hugs and Kisses one for a newborn baby girl! Best wishes for only wonderful things in 2021!
