Midnight Star Free Quilt Pattern by Jean Katherine Smith
Description:
Midnight Star uses five different strip sets to create a large star in indigo, tan and cream fabrics. Jean Katherine Smith’s design cuts the strip sets on a forty-five-degree angle and joins their sections into eight large diamonds. Background squares and triangles fill the spaces around the star, followed by narrow borders. The pattern places cream at the outer star tips and blue toward the center. The completed quilt measures 60 inches square and uses the Midnight Blues collection.
