Add some beautiful colour to your living space by making a couple of gorgeous Star Explosion pillows.

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.

- 5/8 yard focus fabric (also used for the pillow back). A little extra if your fabric needs to be squared up.

- 20″ square of thin batting.

- 18″ pillow form.

from 551 reviewsThis 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.
I really love that you share the patterns. I haven’t had a chance to start sewing yet, but looking forward to when I do.
I can’t wait to try this pattern. It looks stunning, but seems quite doable!
So in the past, I have had bound planners to keep track of projects. While those are great, they don’t have the ability to arrange and be flexible in how they are arrranged. With the pdf planner, I can print extras of the pages I need, put them in the order I choose, and generally write and rewrite to my heart’s content! I love this planner so far, and I an excited to keep returning to it throughout the year.

I loved the pattern. I had a brain fart and just couldn’t think of a quickie pattern for newborn twins. I saw this and loved it!
I love making baby quilts, this one will be great!
This pattern is so versatile that I bought it for any future fussy cut fabric or theme quilt I might make. There are so many options - children’s, men’s - for those harder to “personality fit” quilts. Looking forward to making this one day soon. The pattern instructions are clear.
These are great!!!! Ready to send with the next quilt
