Stars & Dot Quilt Block

May 9, 2024 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Introducing the Stars and Dot Quilt Block. This foundation paper pieced pattern is a playful twist on the popular Mills and Stars Block (also known as Vintage Kite). Like all of our FPP Quilt Blocks, this one comes in multiple sizes – 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch.

I have made my blocks using a palette of rust, tan, peach and teal, set on a low volume background. I have used predominantly scraps from various Ruby Star Society fabric ranges in these 3 inch blocks. They really sparkle. This is a fun block to create.

These little blocks are perfect for so many projects. Pillows, table runners, mini quilts, quilts, placemats, coasters and more. You are only limited by your imagination.

Are you new to foundation paper piecing? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. The pattern includes helpful tips to get your started. You can also read more here.

I love to sort my scrap fabrics by colour which makes making quilt blocks a breeze. It is so satisfying to use up every scrap, don’t you think? Check out how I organise my scraps here.

You can find the Stars and Dot Quilt Block Pattern in our Pattern Store and Etsy Shop for immediate download. You will receive a16 page ePattern in PDF format that includes illustrated instructions on how to create a foundation paper pieced block, templates of each sized block (3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch) and a colouring sheet. PDF format allows you to print and reprint the blocks that you need for your project. Instructions are in English. Templates are included in both A4 and Letter Sized templates for your ease when printing at home.

If you love this block, check out our Star Block Bundle which includes three Star blocks and a generous saving.
