Stars of Light – Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern – BC035 – Be Colourful – Jacqueline de Jonge

Years ago Jacqueline made “Stars in the Night.” But in the beginning of BeColourful, you had to trace the pattern parts and because “Stars of Night” was always such a popular pattern, JJ decided to turn this old pattern into a brand new design. She not only used black as main background but she also used a black fabric with a tiny silver star and of course her black and white stripe. But the most important change was the white background fabric in the center part and around the stars. That is why “Stars in the Night” turned into “Stars of Light.” She also used the beautiful and bright Anthology fabric line. These colorful and stunning fabrics were wonderful to work with and the colors blended so nicely with each other. She was very happy and proud with the final result.

If you take a close look to “Stars of Light” and “Wheel of Fortune,” you will recognize the star circles and the piano border parts. It is almost the same pattern and the same size. She made two different versions of this beautiful pattern. That is also the reason why you find one quilt and two different centers in the pattern. You have two opportunities in the pattern and you can decide which quilt you want to make: “Wheel of Fortune” or “Stars of Light” (see third photo). That’s why you find two covers, two backsides, two fabric descriptions and two booklets in the pattern.
