Farmyard Stars Paper Pieced Quilt

Growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin has instilled a life long love of animals. The “Farmyard Stars” quilt was motivated by all my lovely memories of animals and pets that we saw on our farm every day.

I love everything about this design. The animals are bold and bright with whimsical expressions. The black and white border presents a calming, yet quirky frame to the colorful animals. The animal sounds were machine embroidered in the sashing, but could also be satin stitched, appliqued, or skipped altogether.

I have a hard time choosing my favorite animal, but “Demi Moo” the cow is right up near the top. Remember, these are farmyard STARS, so each is named after a celebrity.

Here’s “Kitty Purry” the cat.

“Pig-Casso” the pig…

“Lady Baa Baa” the sheep…

And, another one of my favorites, “Pony Danza” the horse. Love those teeth! I have designed lots of horses, but he is precious.

To see the names of the other animals you will have to check out the pattern at Etsy or Craftsy.

  4. These are just adorable!
    Want to make one for my upcoming grandchild.
    Wish I had more time to sew.
    REALLY need to move so I can retire. Too expensive in New York.

  6. This is a great pattern. Thanks for the links. You have done an amazing job in making it, too. The black and white fabrics you chose are simply perfect for the blocks.
