July 2024 Pattern of the Month
I can’t believe that it’s time to share another pattern of the month with all of you. This summer has been zipping by so quickly!
For July, I am offering Barn Star 3 as the pattern of the month. It is $5 over in my Etsy shop starting today and running through the end of July. Nicole and I filmed a video chatting about Barn Star 3 and some other fabric chat that you can watch here.
I wanted to share some more digital images of Barn Star 3. The picture at the top of the screen uses Starberry fabrics except for the binding which is from Coriander Colors. Both lines are in quilt shops now. Every now and then, someone will tell me they don’t care for black in a holiday line so, I also mocked up a red/green version using Starberry fabrics (again the binding is from Coriander Colors).
Yesterday, I shared this fun little fabric mix on Instagram and Facebook:
It’s a mix of Starberry, Peachy Keen, and Coriander Colors. I thought it would be fun to do some versions of Barn Star 3 using these collections mixed together. All 3 of these collections are in quilt shops right now.
First up, a red/white/blue version:
And next up a Black/Gray version:
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! Corey
Thank you so much for showing your quilts in different color ways! I have no confidence in substituting other colors, and this is a great learning experience for me. Love all your versions, and now want to make them all!
It’s fun for me to see them, too, in different options. =)
Do you sell this pattern by itself without buying the book?
I love it in the gray and black.
Barn Star 3 is only available as an individual pattern.
I love seeing the mock-ups. So different in changing colors.
It really changes the look, doesn’t it!
Thank you so much for showing these different fabric options. I LOVE the red, white, and blue option. I greatly appreciate when you offer different color choices.
Mixing together those 3 fabric lines to create the r/w/b version was such fun!
These quilts are beautiful! What is the turtle pattern beside you?
That’s so cute!
It’s called Slow Down and it’s in my Oh, Happy Day book. =)
I love the above pattern in the gray and black. do you sell this pattern by itself? without buying the book?
Sharon was asking about the turtle quilt which is in the book. The Barn Star 3 pattern is a single pattern.
I love your mock ups so much. You always inspire me. ❤️
I’m so glad you find them helpful!
Many thanks for sharing the differently colored mock ups for us. I am color challenged, even with using the color wheel…guess my A.D.D brain isn’t wired to decide on color combinations, in quilting and counted X-STITCH. I appreciate all you do and share with us, Cori
You are so welcome!…I’m so glad you find them helpful! =)
What size is this quilt?
All of my Barn Star patterns are 40″ square.
Thank you for coloring the Barn Star in Starberry. I like both the red/green and the one with black. I love the Starberry line. I have all your Barn Star patterns in my collection and from the YT video you have another in the works—-yay.
I thought it was so pretty in Starberry! And yes, another one in the works…they are so fun to create. =)
Hello Corey, John the Quilter here. A question about Barn Stars. I have Barn Star 6 in Peachy Keen as well the pattern for 8. I was thinking of getting the pattern for #3 and then one other to make an 80” square quilt. Would that work? Should they all be in Peachy Keen, or mixed with other lines?
John
Hey John!…Yes, they all mix together beautifully. If you happen to pop by my Etsy shop, I have a listing for the 1st four and the photo for that listing shows all of them mocked up together using one fabric line…If you kind of want to get an idea of how they might look. You’d be looking at a different mix of four but that still might be helpful. You could definitely mix in other fabric lines but I’d probably mix in fabrics that coordinate with Peachy Keen just to keep things cohesive.
I love the July pattern, intricate, yet plain at the same time, thanks so much!
Thanks so much Joan!
What is the name of the quilt hanging to your right (left side of picture) and where can I find the pattern? I checked out Etsy but didn’t spot it there.
Love your quilts. Keep them coming.
It’s called Proposal and from my book Oh Happy Day. The book is for sale in my Etsy shop.
Question…the quilt on the right side (the bright multi color one) what is the pattern name please? I love it !!
Thank you! It’s Oh Happy Day from my book of the same name.
I would love an idea on how to use white on white fabric and not sew pieces upside down. I always try to be very careful, but always seem to get pieces stitched upside down (with the front of fabric on the bottom). Do you have any suggestions on how to avoid this problem. I think my eyes just can’t see it. I always revert to a low volume fabric or just white to fix the problem. When every block has to be fixed because one piece is in wrong if very frustrating. I Love to Quilt.
