Star Quilt Pattern, A Joyous Celebration

Finished Quilt Size: 29-1/2" square

I chose a Christmas theme for this small star quilt, but you can vary the fabrics to make it suit your own needs. The light that surrounds the star blocks blends with the angels fabric placed inside the snowball blocks, giving the snowballs an on-point appearance even though they are sewn side by side.
