“Chained Star” a Free 12" Quilt Block Pattern. Block #1 of BOMquilts.com's 2020 Block of the Month Quilt, "Midnight Stargazer!"“Chained Star” Quilt Block
Block #1 — Part #3 of the “Midnight Stargazer” 2020 BOM Quilt

Can you see now why the entire quilt is so amazing, beautiful, wonderful, eye-popping, luscious, astonishing, astounding, awesome, breathtaking, fabulous & spectacular quilt 🙂 ?




It’s partially because of the ombré fabrics that go into making each & every quilt block. Like the one shown above. The different shades of red & yellow are because of the blending of one color hue to another. Usually moving tints & shades from light to dark. The other reason why it’s all of those adjectives is because that’s the way that I designed it! I wanted to bring out those ombré fabrics, in the best way I could, by sewing them together with black fabric.

As has been, for the past seven or eight years, Abbi May’s Fabric Shop’s sponsoring my block of the month quilt. She only has a couple of “Midnight Stargazer” quilt kits left in her shop. So if you’re thinking you want to make my 2020 BOM quilt, now’s the time to purchase your quilt kit & get busy labeling your fabrics to start making your “Chained Star” Quilt Block!

Abbi May's Fabric Shop ~ Always Open at https://abbimays.comShe’s got a whole lot of fabrics there & they’re always 10% below MSRP!

TK Harrison, Owner of BOMquilts.com

Remember this quilt? This amazing, beautiful, wonderful, eye-popping, luscious, astonishing, astounding, awesome, breathtaking, fabulous & spectacular quilt 🙂 ?

The second part of the pattern has been published!




It’s a very important part of the pattern, too.
There are 29 different fabrics, that make up this quilt top & without this second part you’ll be completely lost! Because it names & assigns numbers to each & every fabric that’s in this quilt top.

Here’s just a sample of some of the fabric colors:

See what I mean? Without the second part of the “Midnight Stargazer” 2020 BOM quilt pattern, you’re going to get lost & we don’t want that to happen. Then what would you do?




Well, maybe that could be a good thing. Just think…you could let your fingers do the shopping at Abbi May’s Fabric Shop! She’s got a whole lot of fabrics there & they’re always 10% below MSRP! Plus, she’s the only sponsor of my “Midnight Stargazer” quilt pattern & she deserves a whole lotta love for sponsoring it 🙂 !
