This is the star quilt I recently made. This pattern is called Lemoyne Star. The stars alternate green and cream, blue and cream, and gray.
Front
back, stars and planets in a night sky.
Star detail—getting the points to meet precisely was tedious, as was not burying the outside points in the seam, but I did pretty well.
To quilt it (tie together the front, batting and back) I stitched in the seams around the squares. I also stitched just the inside lines of the stars.
On the back, the squares are outlined. The star stitching makes a star burst design.
Each family member is represented by a symbol stitched on the gray squares. This football represents our son-in-law, Benji, who (obviously) likes football. He and our daughter Rachel now have this quilt on their bed.
How the symbols look on the back.
Next time, the grandkids’ ornaments.
