No Point Stars Quilt Pattern
This is my very favorite stars quilt pattern ever....and of course it's because there are NO POINTS of the stars to match up and stress over! Thus the name "No Point Stars"...in case you were confused...naming quilts is not my talent!
I decided to revamp my July Stars Tutorial with a FREE printable full pattern...because I love this quilt so much and I get questions about sizing and fabric requirements almost daily! I've made it in reds and blues, and now red and green, but really this quilt is amazing in a variety of colors or even scraps.
If you've never made a star quilt before now is your chance!
You can find the printable PDF of the pattern below with 5 sizes and all (click the words or the photo below).

Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. This quilt is beautiful! Can you tell us why you need 3 yards for the backing of the baby quilt? And, what do you do with the other half? CK
Allison
Hi Cynthia, You can get away with less but you'll have to piece the backing a bit differently that you normally would. The quilt is just barely too long to use a non-pieced backing (unless you get a minky backing or something wider than normal quilting cotton). Normally in a quilt pattern you get enough for the width of the quilt plus about 8", then times that by two. So you do have a lot of extra length after making the backing. You can also get away with 1 3/4 yards full length, then sewing a strip to the bottom or top to get some extra width...but for pattern purposes I stick with simple math and round up. :)

Thank you soooo much! Lovely pattern! But nevertheless... your daughter is the STAR in the picture :-) Have a Merry Christmas from Holland!

Thank you for the star pattern. I can hardly wait to give it a try after the first of the year.
Sheila Otte
Thanks for the star pattern. I consider it an early Christmas present. A star without matching points?...just my style. And I agree with one of the writers above... Jane is the real star...so cute!
Allison
Thanks Sheila!

My daughter brought me a LOT of Crown Royal bags and asked me to make a king-sized quilt so I started searching for a pattern that I felt comfortable with.
I've made a few quilts that were mostly random sized blocks but I didn't think that'd work for this one.
I stumbled across your website and I'm currently working on the No Point Stars pattern.
So far, I’ve spent more time cutting fabric than sewing but I've gotten 13 blocks done!!
I've never made one bigger than twin-size so this is going to be a challenge for me.
Thank you so much for allowing me to use your pattern!!
Allison
Yay that sounds like a fun project! The cutting is the longest part!
KATHY JACHIM
Bless you!! Thank you very much for the pattern, agreed you are our shinning STAR.

Thank you, Allison. I love July Stars, and used it to make a quilt for my guild's Quilts for Wounded Warriors project. We make 48" x 78" gurney-sized quilts for medical evacuees from a military hospital in Afghanistan. I will give my guild the link to this new pattern.

Becca
This is so cute! I'm trying to decide on a pattern that will show off a large-scale novelty print. This might be just the ticket.
Jan
Allison, just came across this pattern. Thank you for a lovely freebie.
Happy 2018 to you and yours.
Beth LaMotte
This pattern is awesome. I just finished a star baby quilt and am so pleased with how it turned out. The pattern lends itself to so many possibilities and I was able to use some left over 3 inch square ninepatches for the center. Many thanks for this pattern. It is one of my favorites already!
Allison
I'm so glad!
Nancy in Montana
wow, just found the pattern! Thank you so much
Jade
Thank you for creating this pattern! I love a good star pattern, and one that doesn't require points is even better!! I do have a quick question.... the pattern states 1/4 yard of each fabric (so total of 1/2 yrd, if I go yardage route instead of FQ) for all sizes?! Is that correct?! I'm not very good at quilt math but that surely doesn't seem right for a crib size all the way up to a king?? HELP! Where have I gone wrong?!
Allison
Hi Jade, The material requirements for the Throw size for example...say 15 FQ OR 1/4 yards for Color 1 and 15 FQ or 1/4 yards for Color 2. So if you are using yardage, you'd need 15 different 1/4 yards of each color. You can use 1/2 yards too and just cut according to the cutting directions for 1/4 yards...just cut double. You just need a total of 15 assorted 1/4 yards for each color. Hope that makes more sense?
8machinesJudy Blinkenberg
Thank you so much for this!! I am trying to participate in the Moda Block Heads 2 and block 5 with those 16 flying geese put me into a tailspin! After using 3 fat quarters I just gave up. In fact, now I am two behind. And today, I see this on Instagram!! I can make the geese like these. And, I have a lot of fabric to make a quilt!! Thank you so very, very, much.
Allison
Oh I'm so glad! Sounds like it was perfect timing!!
Joy Wheeler
Thank you for sharing this beautiful design and such great instructions. I am fairly new to patchwork and have never attempted stars, but this has given me confidence to give it a go.
Pam
Thank you for this lovely pattern. Merry Christmas
Lucy
Just popping in to say "Thank You" for your free pattern. So quick and simple to sew. I just made one block as a sample and it turned out really cute. I see many more in my future. You can see my little project here:https://flyawayhome-4am.blogspot.com/2019/02/one-thing-led-to-another.html Thanks again!
Allison
It's so darling Lucy! How fun to use it in Valentine's fabrics!
mariancybrarian
Your no point stars are genius! After I made the blocks my husband said, oh, you can see all your points! Hah! So easy with your method! Life changing!
Susan E
Thank you for the pattern. Merry Christmas
Susan
Can't get the pattern...what am I doing wrong
Allison
It's probably your computer browser blocking the link because it thinks it's suspicious. You'll have to try it on a different device, or email me and I can try emailing it to you.
chris
HI, I JUST LOVE THE O POINT STAR. IT IS BEAUTIFUL . i AM NEW AT QUILTING. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD HAVE THE MEASURED THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO MAKE A 36" NO POINT STAR. i WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT AS THE CENTER OF MY QUILT. tHANK YOU
Allison
Hi Chris, No I haven't figured out a 36" star, but I bet there are some instructions for it on the internet somewhere! Try to Google "giant star block tutorial" and hopefully you'll find one!
Katie
Thank you for the free star block pattern! ;-) Have a Happy Season!!
Suzanne
Hi, just tried to download this one, it doesn't seem to be working, either by clicking photo or underlined title. All the other download tutorial links worked fine for me, just not this one.
Jan Parrott
I can’t find a place to download the pattern. Can you send it to my email?
Elaine
Currently planning to make this lovely throw at our sewing retreat next year but wanted to try a block. Any top tips for getting a 4” square for the star. I ended up at 10.5 and wonky! I need to be more precise!
Allison
Hi Elaine, Try pressing the seams open, and you can try sewing just a smidge toward the corner of the drawn diagonal line when you are sewing the little star points on. That will give you a bit more breathing room. Mostly just practice!
