The Big Magenta Star quilt.

I just HAD to ‘upscale’ my Magenta Star block into a nice big lap quilt.

This quilt is a real  joy to make.

It comes together so easily and quickly, plus you get to use twelve of your favourite fat quarters for the main fabric.

You are bound to have twelve favourite fat quarters in your stash or your favourite fabric range normally has 12 fat quarters, so twelve fat quarters is the perfect amount to be featured in this quilt! 😂

I have designed two layouts for this quilt.

The first is a rainbow layout which I followed for the quilt pictured, featuring twelve rainbow Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I have diagrams that detail where to put each fabric to create this graduated colour palette or you can choose to follow the random layout. The random layout uses twelve fat quarters also but they are randomly placed, well not so random because I have detailed diagrams outlying where every fabric is placed to create that ‘random’ look. 😂

In addition to the twelve fat quarters you will need 1 yard of fabric for your Star, one fat quarter for your centre fabric and 2 1/2 yards of fabric for your background and borders.

How big is this quilt? It’s approx. 71” square, so that is a nice big lap or bed quilt.
