Chain of Stars Quilt - Strawberry Honey

Hi Quilty Friends! On this chilly February day,  I'm sharing a super cheerful quilt that will make you think of spring and summer. I just kept thinking all the happy thoughts while I making my Chain of Stars Quilt with the Strawberry Honey Collection designed by Gracey Larson for Riley Blake Designs. I love the strawberries, florals, bees, and bears!

I love making my Chain of Stars Quilt because the pattern uses all (42) 10" squares that come in a Riley Blake Stacker - yay!!! 10" squares are my favorite pre-cut as it is affordable plus I get all the prints in a collection!

I love stars blocks, but I especially love these star blocks as there are NO points to match - hooray! Your stars will have all their points plus it is an easy block to sew. The Chain of Stars Quilt Pattern is great for any level quilter!

My original Chain of Stars Quilt does not include a border, but I decided to add one. That is the great thing about borders - you can always add one to your quilt if there is a fabric that you love or if you want to make your quilt larger without making more blocks. I'll share the border measurements in a bit - keep on reading.

Let's gather up all the supplies you will need to make your own Chain of Stars - Strawberry Honey Quilt!
