I’m going to resurrect Terry Atkinson’s Lucky Stars quilt pattern as a Christmas or baby quilt class for October at Studio Stitch in Greensboro, so I’ve just made two new shop samples. This is a great pattern because it is quick and easy to make and almost any mistake made during construction can be fixed without much difficulty. Therefore, I thought people might enjoy making it as a gift quilt or Christmas quilt.
This is an older pattern, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made it for various recipients. Here are my latest versions::

Have you made a Christmas quilt yet this year? It’s not too soon to start 😉
Zippy Quilts 
such a happy pattern!
Thanks!
Love these simple star quilts!
Thanks Norma!
I love star blocks and these quilts are beautiful. When you quilt your own, do you use a long arm just your sewing machine? I’ve pieced two Christmas quilts. I’m thinking of making a Halloween quilt, but I might be too late for this year.
My grands had to settle for Halloween pillowcases. I quilt on my regular Bernina machine, sometimes freehand and sometimes using the walking foot.
I love the baby stars version. Clever idea to piece the block borders for more fabric variety.
Thanks! This pattern has produced several good baby quilts for me 🙂
I always marvel at how changing color and/or value changes the finished look of a similar patterned quilt. These are both quite nice.
Thanks! This is one of those patterns I’ve made in multiple fabrics and it’s always turned out well 🙂
Love that first one–but then I’m a sucker for anything blue-fabriced (is that spelled correctly? blue-fabricked??? Oh well.) I hope your class goes well and that they appreciate your beautiful samples.
I have four small Christmas wall quilts/table-runners in my closet right now, waiting to be quilted. They are for the kids for Christmas. I made the tops in Spring, but of course, thought I had a lot of time to get them quilted and bound. Guess I’d better get on it!
I know what you mean about blue! At one time most of my stash was blue, but I’m trying to branch out 🙃. Know what you mean about thinking you have plenty of time, too! Good luck!
What a star
This is so easy because the star points don’t come to the edge of the block; therefore they can’t get cut off in a seam 🙂
Ah, clever!
I like the red one. They are both pretty.
Thank you 😊
