About this Quilt

Star Bright: Vintage Scrappy Lap Quilt Pattern

Edna Freeman hand pieced this beautiful quilt back in the 1930s using templates for the tiny star blocks. Our version of the Star Bright quilt pattern upsizes those 3 1/2″ star blocks to 4″ for easy rotary cutting and machine piecing.
