A beautiful and highly versatile pattern. All the designs in the picture are created from the exact same pattern. Use the included coloring pages to help you create the design you want to make. This would also be great as the center of a medallion quilt! Celestial Star is the newest pattern in my collection. The Celestial Star Collection bundles three pattern sizes for a discounted price: 12 inch, 18 inch and 24 inch finished size blocks. Or purchase them individually. This listing is for the 24 inch size.

People have asked how I create so many blocks with just one pattern. Here are some blog posts I wrote as part of the QAL that will hopefully help you out:
This post talks about color and value. These are important to pay attention to in order to create a design that pops! Or not pop, if that's not what you are going for. :) It also shows how I used the coloring pages to come up with designs. https://fromblankpages.com/tutorial-color-design/
This post talks about design and shows each of the blocks I created. You should be able to use these pictures for reference, and can transfer them to the coloring pages at the end of the pattern. I also share how I used value for picking fabric. https://fromblankpages.com/tutorial-color-fabric/
