Blooming Star Free Quilt Pattern

Blooming Star in American Gatherings (these fabrics are available in your local quilt shops now)

Good Morning Friends!–today, I am re-sharing my free pattern, Blooming Star.

Blooming Star is a pattern I shared 7 years ago designed to showcase an RJR line of fabric.  As the years passed, the link I had originally provided is no longer available as the fabrics it was designed for are no longer in print.

I decided to re-color and provide an updated link as I’m sure many of you haven’t had the opportunity to download this pattern (and may have never even seen it if you are a new follower) and may wish to do so.  I used to work with a lot of different fabric companies designing patterns to showcase lines of fabric prior to designing fabric for Moda.  Many of these patterns are no longer available and I may need to consider periodically offering them once more.

Rather than offering Blooming Stars as a paid pattern, I think it’s fun to leave it free for all of you. =)

I especially love this gray/black version using Primitive Gatherings fabrics!  These fabrics will be available later this year.  Blooming Star finishes at 72″ x 96″.  The blocks are big…24″ so this quilt comes together pretty quickly as you only need 12 blocks to complete it.

You will find the free pattern here.

It is a yardage based quilt rather than using precuts so you can choose your favorite prints to highlight.  I had to see what it would look like in Spring Brook:

Spring Brook fabrics are out but becoming harder to find..especially the blue colorway.  If you have been considering purchasing some of them to add to your stash, I would suggest doing so pretty quickly.  And, if you are a shop that still has the blue florals, leave a note in the comments as I’ve had people looking.

And one more red/white/blue option–these are Belle Isle fabrics (also available later this year).

I wish you all a wonderful Monday & Memorial Day. Corey

    Thank you Corey, for the free pattern, it is lovely!!! I am a new follower and loved reading a little of your history, and look forward to more of your older patterns that you might release in the future.

    • Corey says:

      I’ve been doing this for so long I kind of forget about all of the patterns I’ve designed that have gone out of print or are not available any longer. It will be nice to bring some of them back. =)

  6. Thank You for the free pattern!! I really like it in your fabric and I love the red white and blue because I feel very patriotic!! I may have to make both! Again Thank You Barb

  7. Cathy Cady says:

    I love how you recolor your quilts in different fabric lines so we can see how they will look. I am very color challenged and find it difficult to see how a quilt will look in different fabrics. A lot of times I will pass up a pattern just because I can’t picture it in the fabric I like. Thanks for the free pattern!

    • Corey says:

      My mom is the same way and she has had me mock up quilts in different colors and/or fabrics so she can get an idea of what it will look like. It makes such a difference seeing the quilts in different fabrics!

  8. Audrey says:

  15. Mary Lancaster says:

    Thank you so much for the free pattern. It’s a beautiful quilt. This is the weekend I make my Christmas List for handmade gifts. Usually the list is unrealistic but this year I’m committed to a smaller and more doable list. Family members are already speculating who might be on the list. Someone will definitely get this in red, white and blue. Might be hard to let go of it once finished.
