Hello, friends, and happy Monday! I can’t believe this is the final week of July. I’m definitely ready for August because that brings us one month closer to some cooler weather here in the southwest. I’ve been super busy behind the scenes and this weekend finished my fourth quilt since July 6th. I can’t wait to share the new quilts and fabrics with you, but you’ll have to wait a few more weeks for that. Anyway, as I was cleaning up from the whirlwind of sewing the last few weeks I realized I never devoted a full post to my Timeless Star Quilt Pattern with our Balboa fabrics. I’ve got it bound and ready to share today.
Timeless Star Quilt Pattern
My Timeless quilt is a big block quilt that I ended up making in a king-sized version once I found out the Spring Quilt Market was cancelled in May (the pattern features directions for a 9-block version finishing at 81 ½″ x 81 ½″). It’s harder to display a king-sized quilt in our booths, and so I usually make smaller quilts. But without market, I decided to make this one a bit larger.
Timeless Quilt Video
Watch the Timeless Quilt video above or go here to watch it on my YouTube channel. I didn’t get a picture of the scrappy binding I made, but I do share that in the video.

The Timeless quilt construction goes much more quickly by using half-square triangle paper. I also used the Bloc Loc Flying Geese Ruler to trim the flying geese units for the star centers.
- Go here to find the pattern in paper or PDF.
- And find my scrappy binding tutorial I mention in the video here.
This is definitely one of my favorite projects from this spring (my Blooms quilt is on the bench at the end of the bed). Thanks so very much for reading–happy quilting!

This is a lovely quilt, and I especially like your two-tone version and the scrappy binding too. In the video, can you tell me the pattern for the quilt behind you on the top rung of the ladder?

Good morning Sheri I love reading your blogs and your videos on YouTube. I also love watching your podcast with your daughter. You both give such great advice and love all of the fabric you both create!

Good Morning Sherri,
I have gotten so use to your emails, they are like a phone call or text from a friend! I look forward to each and every one.
Thanks to you I am doing the “Jelly Snowflake Mystery Quilt” and I am thoroughly enjoying the process. I am excited about the outcome. Your quilts are beautiful and the tips are great! Thank You! Have a Blessed Day!

What size Blockloc flying geese ruler do you most often use. They are a bit pricey!

Good morning! When watching your last podcast, I had to laugh. I, too, do not like purple for the same reason as you – my daughter’s bedroom! Way too much purple!!! I love your Timeless pattern and your new fabric line, Balboa! The purple in this line is perfect! I want to order the pattern and some Balboa fabric. I am mathematically challenged when it comes to figuring out how much fabric I will need to make a pattern bigger. :0) I’m wondering, though, because I have a king-sized bed and want to make the quilt for my bed, how much extra fabric do I need? I’m considering buying a fat quarter bundle of Balboa and wondered if that will be enough? And would you happen to know how much more background fabric I might need? Also, what color of background fabric did you use? I am going to go scrappy like the pattern cover. I would appreciate any information you can give me.
Sherrie says
This quilt is beautiful also would like to no what pattern was used for the long arm quilting how would I go about to get that information.. thank you
Vicki Wishart says
I have purchased the Timeless pattern. I am wondering if the 9 FQ’s in the materials list is enough to do the two color version as you have done. Or would I need more yardage and not the fat eighths. Sorry, but I am struggling trying to figure this out in my mind!!! Thank you.
sherri McConnell says
You’ll need two fat quarters for each block to do the two color version…and you won’t need the additional fat eighths…unless you want to use a variety of prints in the same color family and mix it up even more.
Susan says
Hello Sherri!!!
I LOVE, LOVE this quilt in your video. I have a major question before I purchase the pattern. I have a tremor and am no longer able to use my rotary cutters. I now use only precuts OR use my ACCUQUILT GO cutter and templates to cut my shapes.
On this pattern, would I be able to get all my shapes I needed with pre cuts and/or using my Accuquilt GO…..?
Thank you
sherri McConnell says
Actually yes, I checked and the hst and flying geese you’ll need are available from ACCUQUILT. The squares are also available in the size you’ll need. You may need to purchase extra fabric, though, to make up for using the Go cutter.
