Add some beautiful colour to your living space by making a couple of gorgeous Star Explosion pillows. This pillow has an envelope back making it easy to remove the pillow form and wash just the cover. As designed, these pillows fit an 18″ pillow form; however, you can increase the border to make them larger.
Detailed, step-by-step instructions with diagrams and tips on how to press your seams are included. A blank block diagram has been provided so you can audition your fabric and colour choices. This pattern has been written for the confident beginner.
Please note: This star is included in the Delightful Stars quilt booklet and is the same finished size as the centre of this pillow.
Requirements
The requirements below are to complete one pillow:
- 5/8 yard focus fabric (also used for the pillow back). A little extra if your fabric needs to be squared up.
- Three coordinating fat quarters (or scraps).
- 20″ square of thin batting.
- 20″ square of lightweight cotton, muslin or cotton blend (optional for quilting the pillow top).
- 18″ pillow form.
- General quilting and sewing supplies.

from 565 reviewsLove the simplicity, but enjoy how it looks detailed.
I have NOT yet made this quilt, but I did read through the instructions. They are clear and well-illustrated. I think it will be fairly simple to do, provided I can keep from stretching those bias edges!
I received the pattern. Thank you! I have not made this yet but looking through the pattern, it seems easy to follow and I love all the step-by-step photos. I look forward to making this quilt in the near future.
Looking forward to making it.
Unfortunately recovering from thumb/wrist surgery so no quilting for awhile but I look forward to using it in the future.

Well designed sewing activity project organizer and planner.
I have so many hankies and this quilt looks like a lot of fun to make. I have been cleaning out my sewing/craft room and hope to start on this in a month or so. Thanks for the neat pattern.
I can’t bring my heavy machine, so I was very glad that there was the option to rent a machine.

This track helped very much in keeping my Gifting for 2026 organized. The tracker is very comprehensive. The only page I would love to see added is a "Where did I hide it" page.
It's an adorable baby quilt pattern, havent made yet, but I will.
I love the scrappy, cozy feel of this pattern.
