"Star Silhouettes" by Diane Harris was created as a way to make a fun, scrappy quilt to share during the pandemic.
Star Silhouettes was featured on the cover of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine and quilted by Julie Lechner. During the first months of the pandemic, Diane hosted an online event for quilters to come and hang out for an hour on Sunday afternoons. Making the event complimentary, it filled up quickly and Diane realized the participants were expecting content. She began to work on ideas that she could share with the group about scraps and the quarter star unit, or "Star Quar", which is just one-quarter of a basic star block, featured in Star Silhouettes was one of the blocks Diane played around with and expanded into this quilt for the group.
