Making a Star Border on Your Quilt

Let's take a look at the simplest way to make a star border.  The process that you will be learning here can be used for edge to edge, borders and blocks. Start at the green dot and follow the lines and arrows to make a large zig zag.  The larger you make the zig zag the simpler the process will be.  Once you learn the steps you can make the stars any size. Tip start at the bottom of the zig zag and end on the bottom of the zig zag.

Step two starts at the red dot where you ended the zig zag.  The orange lines are the second step.  Start moving from bottom right line 1, line 2 and continue until you have a star.  Repeat for each zig zag creating the stars across the border.


Any size, any shape and anything goes. Enjoy!


Star light, star bright first star I quilt tonight,

  1. Denise, you are a dynamic educator! I learned so much from you in our class at Sew N Sew. Love this STAR tip and will definately be using it. One of my favorite things to remember is to "floss" the foot! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
