The soft, soothing colors of sage and sea glass bring a fresh, coastal vibe to any quilting project, making them the perfect hues for our latest quilt design: the Star Chain Quilt. This pattern combines the timeless charm of stars with the delicate flow of chain blocks, creating a quilt that’s both modern and classic.
Inspired by the tranquility of nature, the Sage & Sea Glass Star Chain Quilt blends earthy greens and soft blues, reminiscent of serene ocean waves and calm, misty mornings. This color palette works beautifully in any room, adding a relaxing and harmonious touch to your home décor.
When selecting fabrics for this quilt, I wanted to focus on colors that evoke a sense of peace and relaxation. Sage green, with its muted, natural tones, pairs perfectly with the cool and refreshing sea glass blue. Together, these colors offer a sophisticated and timeless look.
The Star Chain Quilt is a lovely combination of simple star blocks linked by chain pieces. The stars are designed with contrasting fabrics to make them stand out, while the chain adds an elegant, continuous flow throughout the quilt. The pattern alternates between the stars and chains, creating a balanced and visually appealing layout.
Fabric Selection: Choose high-quality cotton fabrics in shades of sage, sea glass, and complementary neutrals like white or cream to give the stars and chains a crisp, clean look.
Accurate Cutting: For the stars to shine, precise cutting is key! Make sure your points match up when piecing your star blocks.
Once you’ve completed your quilt top, consider using a quilting pattern that complements the stars and chains, such as swirling motifs to mimic the flow of the sea or simple straight-line quilting for a modern touch.
A soft, sage-green binding can frame the quilt beautifully, while a light sea glass backing will provide a subtle contrast.
The Sage & Sea Glass Star Chain Quilt is a stunning project that blends natural beauty with classic quilting elements. Whether you’re an experienced quilter or just beginning, this quilt is sure to bring a sense of calm and elegance to your home.
