Pink and Chocolate Stars



When Heather was still in school I made a Turning Twenty quilt for her bed. The pattern is called that because it turns 20 fat quarters of fabric (each 18”by20”) into a bed-sized quilt top in a single afternoon. I’d been collecting plaids, stripes, gingham and calico prints in pale pink and chocolate and had amassed more than two dozen fat quarters. When I was done with the Turning Twenty there were still lots of scraps leftover; mostly 3.5” wide strips. I bought 1 1/4 yard of cream fabric for the background, and another yard of floral pink (the centers of each star) and this 54” square quilt was the result. I wish I could take credit for the design. It was a free downloadable pattern, most likely from Moda.com. I could probably find it if I could remember its original name. But we’ve been calling it Pink and Chocolate Stars so long, it hasn’t any other.
