First off, it’s my sister’s birthday today. Happy Birthday Sis.
The other big news today is that I finished my first baby quilt top (that now makes 1 x mini quilt, and 1 x twin quilt top)…yippee !!!
Simply Stars
I love V and Co. “Simply” charm packs. They are so bright and colorful. The designs are very geometric but still whimsical, perfect for a baby quilt. The other great thing about this quilt, is it came together really quickly. Each star block took me about 30 minutes, and each 9 block took about 15 minutes. I love that it was so quick and easy.
After much practice, I think I finally have the knack for matching square blocks. I am very proud how aligned everything is. I was able to take some quick photos this afternoon which is very lucky as we have had thunderstorms/rain every afternoon for the last two weeks. Today is perfect weather!!!
Anyway that’s it, here are some of the details
Name: Simply Stars

Congratulations! That’s quite a milestone and looks fantastic too!
Thank you 🙂
Looks great! I love wonky stars for kid/baby quilts. They’re fun and easy to make.
I think they are great too 🙂
This is so pretty! I love how you did the big blocks of the same colors.
Thank you.
This is lovely, I completely agree with you, the charm pack you used has great fabrics. I’m working on my first baby quilt at the moment too, it’s fun!
That is so fun, I hope you enjoy it and it turns out how you want it 🙂
I love v&co too and almost everything have made recently has been in her fabric. I do’t have any of the new line yet so am very envious. Gorgeous quilt.
Thank you. The only issue I have now is the back I was thinking of adding the zig zag from the simply style but I just found out that yardage does not come out until the end of the month 😦
Great finish! Congratulations.
I love the colors in this quilt! It looks so neat that the stars are in white. They really stand out! Thank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

So great! It’s a perfect mashup of those two quilts. So are all the fabrics “Simply” fabrics? No other stash? I see some things I’m surprised are from those two lines!
Yes, There are only 3 fabric lines…1. Kona White Cotton, 2. Simply Color and 3. Simply Style. No other stash until I worked on the back. I am definitely in love with the Simply style and will have to buy more when yardage is released end of the month 😉
