Swirling Stars is a colorful English Paper Piecing quilt built from repeating star blocks that create movement across the quilt. Play with similar tones, add contrasting prints, and let the fabric placement transform a simple block into one seriously eye-catching design.
Shop the Pattern + Paper Pieces, coordinating Acrylic Template Set, and complete fabric bundle to start stitching.
The Swirling Stars Quilt combines 2" Hexagons, 30° Diamonds, and Equilateral Triangles to create 30 rotating star blocks that nest together across the quilt. The project was designed with fabric economy in mind, making it easy to work through a coordinated assortment of colorful prints without creating a pile of scraps.
A combination of English Paper Piecing, appliqué, and machine piecing keeps the project portable while still making the final assembly approachable. Use the included coloring diagram to experiment with placement before you cut, or follow the scrappy color strategy shown in the sample.
Finished at 34" x 41", Swirling Stars is a great next-step EPP project for stitchers ready to move beyond basic hexagons and play with points, contrast, and movement.
