Summer Star Mini Quilt Pattern

A bright, cheerful star mini quilt pattern from Edyta Sitar for Laundry Basket Quilts — the Summer Star finishes at a neat 20½" × 20½", making it a perfect quick make for a wall hanging, table topper, or a thoughtful handmade gift.

Mini quilts punch well above their weight for impact, and the Summer Star is no exception — its bold star design works beautifully in vibrant summer prints, fresh florals, or high-contrast scrappy fabrics. It suits modern, cottage, and traditional styles equally well, and the small scale makes it ideal for trying out a new colour combination before committing to a larger project.

This is a pieced pattern suitable for all skill levels, with a compact construction that most quilters can complete in a day or a relaxed weekend. Fat eighths or small scraps are ideal — it’s a brilliant stash-buster that still looks polished and intentional. For maximum impact, pair a bold feature print with two or three coordinating tone-on-tones. Pattern format: Printed. SKU: LBQ-1764-P.

Why this works well

• Fast, satisfying make — achievable in a day for most quilters
• Ideal stash-buster: uses fat eighths or small scraps beautifully
• Versatile finish: wall hanging, table topper, or framed gift
• Bold star design with real visual impact at a small scale
• Great for trying new colour combinations before a larger project

The Summer Star is one of those patterns we recommend when someone wants a quick win — it’s small enough to finish in a weekend but striking enough to frame or gift with pride. If you’re not sure which fabrics to use, a few fat eighths from one of our LBQ collections will give you everything you need.
