Star Pop II

Here's my latest baby quilt, using the "Lavish" fabric line:
I bought a half yard bundle of these fabrics back in 2019. Here are the 4 quilts I've made to date from that bundle: Quatro, 99 Charms, Star Pop II and Doll/Mini quilt.
My Quilt Info:
Pattern: Star Pop II from Quilty Love
Fabrics: Lavish from Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics
Size: 45" x 52"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton
Thread: Glide--Cornflower
Pantograph: Bright Lights ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches
I have been majoring in baby quilts recently. They will be gifts for friends, or I can always donate them to Bundles of Love locally.
Flannel backing--my recent favorite for baby quilts. ⤵️ This quilting design, "Bright Lights", was free for one week to newsletter subscribers of My Creative Stitches. It includes 4-point stars, 5-point stars and 8-point stars, as well as loops.
I do love this simple, fast pattern! The original "Star Pop" pattern is more involved. The designer, Quilty Love, simplified it with the "Star Pop II" pattern.
I had some cut offs from making this Star Pop II quilt and decided to sew them together. They became this mini/doll quilt! I added a couple of matching fabrics to fill in the rows.

Mini Quilt Info:
Fabrics: Lavish from Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics
Size: 10" x 12"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton
Thread: Glide--Mint
Pantograph: Gilded Orange Peel ⤵️ from OESD
This is currently a free digital pantograph, "Gilded Orange Peel" from OESD. I downsized it quite a bit to fit the mini quilt size.
This Tula Pink print became the backing when I noticed how well it matched colors of the Lavish fabric line.⤴️
There are some random 5" squares and 2 1/2" "Lavish" strips leftover. Not sure yet what I'll do with them. We'll see!

  1. You really have had great value out of that fabric bundle. Great collection of quilts.
    Star pop works so well as a pattern. I like the yellow in the stars.
    I do have a Star Pop already cut out. I need to get it done!

  14. Houray, some new scraps to play with ;)) Your baby star quilt is gorgeous, I love the yellow and orange stars, and the bundle looks pretty too. Great opportunity for this quilting pattern, Bright Lights is full of stars! The mini quilt is also lovely, and its backing is fabulous! Thank you for sharing your inspiring work and linking up!

  15. Lovely quilts, Nancy! That Star Pop II design is really pretty, probably because of the stars that are such a nice contrasting color. Looks like you've kept your quilting machine humming. Have a blessed Easter!

  16. You seem to get so much done every week. Or maybe you finish something every week. I like star pop a lot. Great job using so much of those fabrics.

  17. What I find the most intriguing is how different the three* quilts look although from the same fabric collection. And hurray for finding two new pantographs. xo

    *squares and doll-quilt look a lot more similar to each other ;)

  24. Wow, tons of eye candy here! I like your pink charm quilts - I don't have many 5" charms, but I sure could cut 99 from scraps!
