In her tutorial, Deb Gehringer ingeniously repurposes leftover fabric scraps into stunning quilted star ornaments, showcasing her resourcefulness and creative flair. Drawing from the vibrant remnants of her previous projects like the Five Squared Quilt and the golden hues of the Four Patch Charm quilt, Deb breathes new life into these materials.
Her inspiration stems from nostalgic memories of crafting a Christmas tree skirt for her son years ago, igniting a desire to continue the tradition of handmade holiday decor. To bring her vision to life, Deb selects a curated collection of metallic fabrics from renowned brands such as Marcus Brothers, RJR, and Andover Fabrics, infusing her ornaments with festive elegance and charm.
This free tutorial not only demonstrates Deb’s ingenuity in repurposing materials but also celebrates the joy of handmade holiday decorations, adding a personalized touch to festive celebrations.

I was already a big fan but this one ROCKS! I have been trying to decide on a new project. Thank you for finding this! I will be making one for each of my grown children for Christmas.
I was so excited to have this pattern. BUT, when I was trying to make the templates, I decided I needed to be a mathmatical genius to figure out the dimensions for the templates. I converted the 8″ A template to the required 14″, measured the angle to get the other sides, guessed where the B sides joined, eyed the curve, proceeded to try the G piece with the same method, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle to do the rest. Sorry! ~Barbara Hoover (experienced quilter)
Started cutting out the fabric and doubted that the pieces would fit together correctly. I traced the pieces inside the seam allowance and low and behold they don’t fit together. Anyone else have this problem? Has anyone done this project successfully?
