I would love to give YOU a copy of the new and improved Star Bright pattern to say thanks for subscribing to my newsletter. The pattern is written to make a baby quilt, or a large throw. It is charm pack (baby quilt) or layer cake (throw quilt) friendly! Note: This is a beginner friendly quilt. It can easily be made with scraps or assorted fat quarters, prints or solids, or a mix of both.

Quilting Ideas: Here are three ideas for quilting your quilt!

1. I love mixing it up a little bit--I quilted my first Star Bright quilt with wavy vertical lines (using my free motion quilting foot, but a walking foot would work too) in the background of the quilt. I quilted vertical lines about 1/2'' apart in the white star using my walking foot.

2. I love matchstick quilting, where you quilt straight lines really close together (between 1/4'' and 1/2''). The lines are usually vertical, but you could also try horizontal lines. My lines are always straight-ish, and that's okay with me.  

3. An all over free motion pattern can unify a quilt--try a stipple or a loop or a double loop design. Bonus--these designs are fast!
