30’s Stars By: Peggy Aront, New Jersey, USA This is a full size top I did with blocks from a swap with friends at a retreat. We had to use 20 fabrics in each block which was a huge challenge. Mine turned out so nice and after I wanted to keep it for myself but in the end I donated it for a raffle to our local veterans food drive. Quilt size: width: 78" height: 87" |
 |
A Hunter’s Star By: Lizze, Washington, USA I had fabric in mind for this pattern, but found this fabric to be perfect because it resembles stars. I quilted the constellations with the best stories into the squares and quilted star related song lyrics into the border that are special to me, 10 songs total. The binding has gilded stars on it. Quilt size: width: 76" height: 90" |

 |
Christmas Stars By: Janet Gordon, Nova Scotia, Canada This is my original design. I tend not to use novelty fabrics, letting the colour carry the message. I think this makes a quilt more versatile. This quilt would look appropriate as a fall tablecloth at a harvest buffet, and will look great as a tree skirt under my feather tree too. Quilt size: width: 45" height: 56" |
 |
Chubby Stars in Fall By: Melissa, Indiana, USA This quilt was for my second Quilt-A-Long. It was designed by Tracey at Traceyjay Quilts. I love the Chain mixed in with the stars.

Fresh Stars By: Patty D. from NC, North Carolina, USA While not my first quilt by a long shot, this was my first Schnibbles quilt (and I am now addicted). It was also my first attempt at free motion. I really enjoy it. I used Fresh Cottons fabric. Quilt size: width: 36" height: 36" |
 |
Frosted Memories By: Kathy Gunderson, Virginia, USA I made this quilt last year using a lot of light beige and off white fabrics. There are several fussy-cut winter scenes inserted in the quilt.

My Vintage Moments By: Karen Dixon, Georgia, USA I fell in love with Marcia McCloskey’s beautiful pattern. I searched through my collection of 30’s fabrics and didn’t have to buy an inch extra. The quilt was a challenge but I think well worth the trouble. Enjoy, and thank you for your vote. Quilt size: width: 110" height: 110" |

Oh, My Stars! By: Lindy, Washington, USA Construction of this quilt was a challenge! Not only in the patterns chosen, but literally, as a guild challenge. We were given 3 fabrics (one was UGLY!) We could add two more. In order to get the look I wanted there became the front side of fabric- and the ‘other’ side! My all time favorite quilt. Quilt size: width: 54" height: 54" |
 |
Radiant Star Quilt By: Radiant Star Quilt, Ohio, USA I took a class at the Country Hutch in Geneva, OH about 20 years ago to learn how to make this quilt.

Quilt size: width: 15" height: 15" |

Starry Sensations By: Christine M, Australia This was the 2009 International Friendship Quilters (IFQ) block of the month. Unfortunately the colours haven’t shown up very well.

 |
Stars & Pinwheels By: crickets, New York, USA Friendship stars and a couple of pinwheels make up this meaningful quilt. This was perhaps the first time I designed the block layout of a quilt all on my own. Then bravely I machine quilted it! The crispness of the blues and whites, and the simplicity of the block patterns just draw me in. Quilt size: width: 22" height: 30" |
 |
Stars in an American Garden By: Mary Lou Casada, Kentucky, USA I hand quilted this one while my husband was deployed to Bosnia. The patriotic fabrics made me feel closer to my soldier :-D and the quilting filled many a night while missing him! The “garden” part of the quilt’s name comes from floral wreaths quilted in the alternate squares. Quilt size: width: 88" height: 101" |
 |
Stars of Australia By: Angie Yarmuch, Alberta, Canada This was a mystery quilt pattern I found on-line from Gumnut Gear quilt shop in NSW, Australia.

Quilt size: width: 65.5" height: 65.5" |

What a wonderful collection of starry quilts!
I got a message:
You Had Already Voted For This Poll. Poll ID #62
although I had not already voted.
Lovely quilts…this was really hard to pick just one to vote for!
There are many beautiful quilts here. I voted for my choice because it is a memory quilt to someone who lost a loved one and made by someone who loves that person.
All of these quilts were so lovely. It was hard to choose only one!!!
I was selfish and voted for my own when there were so many other deserving quiklts! I feel like the Grinch who stole Christmas! Good luck all.
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!

When you see that message, it just means you double clicked on the vote button, instead of just clicking once. I’ve done it myself too. Your first vote was registered correctly.
