Wandering Star in Flower Market!!

 Today I get to share this beautiful new Wandering Star quilt finish with you featuring the oh so cute Flower Market Collection  by Elea Lutz for Poppie Cotton!!   Wandering Star is quickly becoming a favorite pattern here at Happy Quilting!!  I have been so happy to see all of your finishes emailed to me, and am super excited to share another version of it today!!!  

This Wandering Star Quilt is so much fun to make and it is Fat Quarter Friendly so you can just grab a bundle and add your background fabric. Aren't the prints in this Flower Market Collection just so adorable!!  I love the soft colors, and the pops of vibrant reds :)  And you know I just wanted to make all of those pastels pop, and this lovely Fairway Dark Green Country Confetti did just the trick!!    It really keeps some of those super light prints from getting lost ;)

And while this might look a little difficult, Wandering Stars can be broken down into basic piecing units.  You will learn Stitch and Flip Corners, and large and small  No Waste Flying Geese making this quilt.   And as all of your points in the fabric are touching the same fabric, this is a pretty forgiving quilt when it comes to points!!   

And I think the reason this design is quickly becoming a  favorite  is due to the interlocking blocks.   Yup, I know, it is hard to look at it and figure out where the block is, and where the sashing is.  That makes it so cool as the stars just dance across the quilt!!!  But trust me, it is much easier to put together than it looks!!    And again  I just love it in this fun dark green background . . . it always blows me away how much it changes up the quilt to go from a white background to something different.  

Barbara did the quilting and piecing on this one.  Truly, it is so nice for us to get to work together on so many projects, it helps me keep up on everything I need to do on the computer end of things, while still getting to see so many of my patterns come to life is so many beautiful fabrics!!  And her quilting is just oh so cute!!  She quilted all of the negative space in echoed paisleys and the quilted curls in the stars.   This really makes the design pop in this quilt and adds so much amazing texture.  Love it!! 

 And like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, the the nice thing is, the  Wandering Star Pattern  has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you like. This is the queen size, but you can make it from a baby size all the way to a king size ;) 

And that is the new Wandering Star Quilt! I hope you have enjoyed this post and consider making your own  Wandering Star Quilt!!! And if you do, I would love to see them!
