Shadow Star Free Quilt Pattern by Tula Pink
Shadow Star builds one large star from eight diamonds, combining graduated gray strip sets with fussy-cut seal motifs. Angled segments are joined in a planned order, and background squares and triangles fill the spaces around the star points. Tula Pink designed this intermediate quilt using Graywork and True Colors fabrics. The finished quilt measures 87 inches square and includes templates for the featured motifs, diagrams for the staggered strip sets and marked stopping points for the inset seams.

Shadow Star Free Quilt Pattern by Tula Pink quilt pattern summary
- Print and check the templates, then fussy cut the featured motifs. Cut and sort the remaining strips and background pieces, keeping the gray sequence organized.
- Sew the staggered strip sets and cut their angled segments. Arrange the segments with the motif pieces to make four of each diamond arrangement.
- Mark the seam stopping points and join the diamonds with the background squares and triangles. Sew the corner sections into two rows and join the rows.
- Prepare the bias binding, then layer and quilt the top. Trim the extra backing and batting and finish the binding around the edge.
