🌟 February Quilt Star Challenge

Denise Star and color of the month is Pink Month (if you want to double down— Create a Star Block in Any Style You Love

February’s color challenge is pink, and this month’s challenge is all about making a Denise Star or if you want any star‑themed quilt block using any shade, tint, or tone of pink. Whether you’re sewing from scraps, using your favorite prints, or trying a new technique, this is your chance to play, experiment, and shine.

• Beginners and advanced quilters are equally welcome

Post your finished block in the Maker Facebook group or link it in the comments. I’ll include it in the monthly slideshow so everyone can enjoy your creativity.

🪡 Tips for a Beautiful Star

• Keep contrast in mind — mix light, medium, and dark pinks

• Try fussy‑cutting a favorite print for the center

• Use a neutral background if you want the star to pop

• Press seams open for flatter points

• Trim units as you go for crisp accuracy

  At the beginning of the year, a star theme was picked out, (Stars) each month -one new block will be posted.  The pattern will be offered for a variety of block sizes. Blocks will be mostly pieced (my current preferred method). Instructions are free, but please do not share the files, have your friends join for information.

 Sampler Star Blocks - started January 1! You are welcome to backtrack or pick up wherever you like. 

Each month, I will do a random drawing of all blocks submitted for that month for a free fat quarter (or maybe something else quilting-related).

All blocks are located under "Pictures or Files".

Rules of the Group are to have fun and be kind to everyone.  If you do not have something nice to say, please keep it to yourself. This activity is for those who love to quilt, want to learn to quilt, or learn a new technique, and to be supportive of others who are doing the same thing.

No Quilt police, no selling, and no talking about politics or religion.  No Drama. Those types of posts/comments will automatically be deleted by the admin, and repeatedly posting/commenting can result in being put in time-out and possibly being removed from the group.  No Medical updates, no prayer requests, or charity requests are allowed. If unsure, message an Admin to ask.
