Quilt Therapy Posted on by

Wrap yourself in some quilty stars so you’ll dream of the wonders above us! This is a big block quilt that’s perfect for chain stitching! It may look complicated, but if you can sew Half-Square Triangles, you’re good to go!

There are just two blocks in this “Twinkling Stars Quilt Pattern” so feast your eyes on these beauties:

If you’ve been following my blog for very long, I’m pretty sure you’ve seen these before! But the ones that are featured in my “Star Power” Gallery are 12″ square finished and these shown above are 16″ finished. Like I said above, “This is a big block quilt!”




In order for you to download this free pattern, all you need to do is to create a new account (or login to your current account) at QuiltDash.com & click on the link that says “Join the QuiltDash” (no quotes). Once you’ve done that, you just need to search for the images on the shops/websites/blogs who are participating in this month’s Quilt Dash. It’s really quite simple & a fun thing to do. Not to mention you get to look at some lovely quilty fabrics that you may just want to purchase (I promise not to tell anyone)!

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

Quilt Dash brings quilters to quilt shops, websites and blogs. I participate as both a quilt shop as well as a Quilt Dash member, so I can have the same fun as the rest of the Quilt Dash Members have, searching through sites to find a hidden image and when I find all of them, I receive a free quilt pattern!




I am also included in the drawing for a free coupon which could be for a dollar or percentage off of quilt fabrics or products. Another prize could be a choice of a free pattern. Now why in the world would you not want to participate in something that is so much fun, with a free quilt pattern and perhaps a prize, too?

September 2018 Quilt DashI absolutely love Log Cabin quilts! I love them so much, I made a Log Cabin quilt for my husband and I when we married. And 26+ years later, it’s still in great shape!

I also designed and made two log cabin quilts at my sister-site, BOMquilts.com. And to this day, I still have people who email me and thank me for these two patterns:
