Riley Blake Super Star Quilt Pattern

Project Overview

The Riley Blake Super Star is a downloadable PDF quilting pattern that creates a finished quilt measuring 58" x 58". This free quilting pattern is designed for crafters with basic knowledge of quilting techniques and terminology. The design features a striking navy argyle color scheme combined with orange accents and cream elements, creating a geometric star motif across the completed quilt.

What is Being Made

This pattern produces a single large quilt with finished dimensions of 58" x 58". The quilt is constructed using a block-based design featuring 20" x 20" finished blocks that showcase an argyle pattern in multiple colorways. The overall design creates a super star effect through the strategic placement and combination of navy, orange, and cream fabric pieces.

Quilting Techniques Used

This Riley Blake pattern requires fundamental quilting techniques including:

• Strip cutting from width of fabric (WOF) measurements
• Precise square and rectangle cutting for patchwork assembly
• Right sides together sewing with accurate seam allowances
• Block construction and arrangement
• Basic quilting assembly methods

The pattern assumes crafters have working knowledge of standard quilting terminology and processes. Virtual quilt and block diagrams are provided, though the final appearance may vary depending on the actual fabric used.

Stitches and Construction Details

The pattern utilizes standard quilting seam construction with ¼" seam allowances throughout. Pieces are sewn with right sides together using basic straight stitching. The block construction involves combining multiple cut pieces—rectangles and squares in varying sizes—to build the 20" x 20" blocks that form the complete design.

Materials and Fabric Requirements

The Riley Blake Super Star pattern specifies the following fabric requirements:

• 1 yard (95 cm) of blue main fabric (C4830 Blue)
• 1/3 yard (35 cm) of cream circle fabric (C4831 Cream)
• 5/8 yard of blue gingham fabric
• Additional yardage for orange argyle and cream star components

The pattern uses Riley Blake Designs branded fabrics, and crafters are advised to check the Riley Blake Designs website for any pattern revisions before beginning their project. Standard quilting supplies including rotary cutters, quilting rulers, and cutting mats are needed to accurately cut the strips and pieces specified in the pattern.
