December $5 Pattern of the Month [Barn Star 2!]

It’s December friends!…that means it’s time for a new $5 pattern of the month. I’ve decided to go with the Barn Star 2 pattern for this month.

I feel like many of us have done some fun scrap busting from our fabric stash and this is a great pattern to continue that trend. Ryan & I (and Tiggs! and even a peek at Frances!) filmed a video chatting about Barn Star 2 so you can get a better look at it.

You can watch the video here.

In the video I promised some new colorings of this quilt using fabrics that are currently in quilt shops…so here they are!

First up, this is what Barn Star 2 could look like using Lovestruck by Lella Boutique. Lovestruck is in quilt shops now. I thought it was fun to see what Barn Star 2 would look like with a darker background. Wouldn’t this be a lovely baby quilt! At 40″ square, it’s such a nice size for baby quilts.

The next version is made using Dandi Duo by Robin Pickens. Dandi Duo is set to be in quilt shops this month.

The last version I mocked up uses Starberry. I know that these fabrics won’t be available until late spring 2024 but I wanted to show you what it would look like in a holiday line of fabric. There are always so many pretty options for holiday fabrics and I think Barn Star 2 would be a lovely table topper or wall hanging to add a festive touch to your holiday decorating.

That gives you a few different ideas for how Barn Star 2 might look like in other fabric options. As I mentioned in the video, this is also an excellent scrap busting quilt if you wanted to work primarily from your scrap bin. You’d need background and border fabric to complete the quilt top.

And for fun, if you wanted to do a lot of scrap busting, here’s what 4 Barn Star 2’s would like if assembled into a larger 80″ square quilt:

You can purchase the Barn Star 2 pattern in my Etsy shop here.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day! Corey
