Starry Skies Free Quilt Pattern by Christine Stainbrook
Starry Skies repeats twenty large pieced blocks across a 64-by-80-inch quilt. Christine Stainbrook designed the project with Midnight Garden batiks by Jacqueline de Jonge, surrounding framed center squares with pointed and rectangular units. The dark fabrics and pale accents repeat through the block edges, so joining the blocks also builds a secondary pattern between them. A four-block-wide, five-row layout completes the top without a separate outer border before quilting and binding.
