Wandering Star X2 and Child Size!!!

So you might recall me mentioning a week or so ago that I needed to quilt a second version of Wandering Star in time for my class . . . Well, I got it all done!!!  And I have since used it to teach 2 classes in two different towns, so fun ;)   So yippee for a new  Wandering Star quilt (yes, it looks exactly the same as the first one I made, I love sample sewing!!!)  

The  Wandering Star Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version.  And it is on special right now until the end of February for the $5.00  pattern of the month ;) The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format. 

This version of  Wandering Star is made with Seaglass Summer FQB by Sweetfire Road And the great thing is . . . this fabric is now available in Quilt Shops!!!  When I finished the first quilt back in April,  it was a long wait for for Seaglass Summer . . . but now, you can grab a bundle and get sewing :)    And these fabrics are just so pretty.   I love all of the prints and colors and I just loved picking out the colors for the accent pieces.  The quilt is Fat Quarter Friendly  and the pattern is so versatile, it would look great in just about any fabric line so you can grab a bundle and get cutting!!! 

I quilted this version of Wandering Star  with an all over large swirl.  Mostly because of time constraints, but I was super happy when I took it off the longarm.  I don't often quilt in this large of a scale, but it really looks awesome on such a large quilt and adds so much texture.  I am going to have to remember that for the future ;)  

 And, of course, since I finally got the queen size version quilted, I had to follow it on the longarm with this adorable Child Size Version I made a few weeks ago.  Wandering Star is an intermediate skill level pattern, but I have had beginners make it as well ;)   The pattern uses no-waste flying geese, basic piecing, and pieced sashing to create the secondary stars.  

This version of  Wandering Star is made with a Phoebe Fat Quarter Bundle by Dear Stella Fabrics.  I found this bundle in a cute shop in AZ, and you knew I just couldn't pass up the purples!!  It worked so perfectly for this size, and I love the corals as the accent stars!!!  

Wandering Star like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)   This is the Child Size and the original is the Queen size.  There is also a Baby Size, Lap Size, Picnic Size, and King Size.    

I quilted this version of  Wandering Star with some loose feathers.  Again, just doing something that I can quilt real fast so it was ready for class ;)  

And those are my new  Wandering Star Quilts!!!       I am just so happy to share it with all of you!! So are you ready to make your own Wandering Star quilt??    If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you are finished with your Wandering Star Quilts I would love to see them!!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
