A Simple Star Ornament for the Days Before Christmas
If you’re looking for a simple, creative project to slip into the days before Christmas, this one is a favorite around here.
The Quilted Star Ornament tutorial on the Suzy Quilts blog, created by Diana of Banjoflannel, is beginner-friendly and quick enough to finish in a cozy evening at home. It’s the kind of project that feels satisfying without feeling overwhelming—perfect when your calendar is full but you still want to make something by hand.
A project that’s easy to share
What I love most about these stars is how naturally they turn into a shared activity. They’re a great option if you’re sewing with young makers, or if you’re looking for a low-pressure craft to do with family or friends.
There’s something special about sitting around a table together—stitching, chatting, and then seeing those finished stars hanging on the tree later. They become tiny reminders of the moments you made while creating them.
Beginner-friendly and flexible
The tutorial walks you through each step clearly, whether you’re sewing solo or turning it into a group activity. You’ll likely end up with a small stack of stars before you know it.

(There’s even a non-quilted option about halfway down the post.)
If you try it, I’d love to see what you make—especially if you’re using Wildflower or mixing in scraps from your stash.
