Precut Friendly

Today I'm sharing a Through My Windows star quilt I made this summer!  This cute star quilt is sewn up with Painterly Petals, a bold watercolor fabric collection by Robert Kaufman with a Nautical Kona background and pindot sashing.

Painterly Petals Fabrics

These bright and bold watercolor fabrics are from an older Painterly Petals fabric collection by Robert Kaufman.  I thought this fabric collection was no longer available, but one of my readers shared that RK has release an updated Painterly Petals collection.  It's available right here.

The backing fabric is also from the Painterly Petals fabric collection.  The sashing and binding is a Pindot fabric, and the background is Kona Nautical.

Precut Friendly

Through My Window is so very stash friendly - use 5" charm squares, 10" layer cake squares, or fat quarters.  The instructions include how to cut each one to make this quilt pattern, and if you don't have any of these precuts, just use your stash and cut the number of pieces in the size indicated in the pattern - easy peasy!  It's a perfect scrappy quilt pattern!  

All the Quilt Sizes

The Through My Window quilt pattern includes instructions for many different sizes - five in all.  

• Baby Quilt

• Throw Quilt 

• Twin Bed Quilt

• Queen Bed Quilt

• King Bed Quilt

Beginner Friendly Quilt Pattern

This quilt pattern is beginner friendly, if you have a few quilts under your belt.  My patterns aren't true beginner friendly because they don't walk you through how to cut fabric or sew a 1/4" seam, but if you have just a little experience, you can make this quilt.

Through My Window Quilt Kits

We have kitted Through My Window in several fabric collections.  There is a neutral bundle in black, gray, and tan on a creamy background, and also a feminine bundle in purples, teal, gold, and red on a creamy background.  Click here to see all of the Through My Windows quilt kits.  

Longarm Machine Quilting

This star quilt is quilted with Ribbon Curls, a really nice swirling design, on my HandiQuilter Fusion with Pro-Stitcher in navy thread which blends in well with the quilt top and the backing.

Through My Window - A New Quilt Pattern - Charm Squares, Layer Cakes, or Fat Quarters!

Meet Through My Window - a star quilt pattern, looking at twinkling stars through the panes of a window.  This is a really fun quilt to make!  

This new quilt pattern includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.

The Through My Window quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Precut Friendly Quilt Pattern

Through My Window is a very versatile pattern to use your stash.  You can use precut charm squares, layer cakes, fat quarters, or cut fabric from you scraps, of course.  Using fat quarters results in less variety in the prints, but they are still a great option for the larger quilt sizes.

• 5" charm squares

• 10" layer cake squares

• fat quarters

• scraps

Fabric Selection

So many fabrics will be perfect for Through My Window.  The key is to make sure the background fabric contrasts enough from the majority of the prints to allow the stars to sparkle.  A light background fabric will also make this happen.  Then have fun with the sashing fabric and consider fabrics beyond the traditional solid white, black or gray.  

The quilt above with the white background is made with Dawn to Dusk batiks, available as a layer cake right here in this shop.

The Through My Window cover quilt is made with Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman, an older fabric collection which has been recently revived.  Some of the prints have been reprinted with others added.  The second collection is perhaps even more stunning than the first one!  Click here to see it.

For the background, I chose Kona Cotton Nautical, a beautiful deep navy blue, to capture the sparkling stars on the night sky.  

The sashing and binding are made with a pindot fabric, a navy blue with tiny white dots placed randomly.  Oh, how fun to think outside of the typical fabrics for sashing!  Try something new, and you might be surprised at how much you like it.  :)

The backing is a print from the Painterly Petals collection.

Quick and Easy Quilt Pattern

If you can make an HST - half-square triangle - you can make this quilt pattern.  It's quick and easy with plenty of instructions and diagrams to break down the process step-by-step.

Pairing all of those bright, happy prints is also very fun!  In general, I paired the squares with star points that had similar colors and blended with each other.

Longarm Quilting

The longarm quilting design is Ribbon Curls, perhaps my favorite design.  Quilted on my HandiQuilter Fusion with ProStitcher in navy thread which blends perfectly into the quilt top and backing.

The Through My Window quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
