What is a “Star Patch?”

A Star Patch is a simple, classic quilt design loved by many for its down-to-earth beauty. It features an 8 pointed star-shaped pattern made from different fabrics, often with bold or colorful contrasts. You’ll find star patches in everything from family heirloom quilts to everyday bedcovers, bringing a cozy, homespun feel.

The Star Patch has been a mainstay of quilting since commercial fabric mills began producing cotton cloth in the mid 1800s. The pattern has cross cultural meaning, popular among Native American tribes and settlers alike.
