Stars Blue scatters tiny multicolored stars and dots across a dusty medium blue background. It is part of Love You to the Moon Flannel, designed by Echo Park Paper Co. for Riley Blake Designs.
The stars are small and widely spaced, so the print reads as a near-solid with gentle texture. That is exactly what makes it useful: it can fill large areas of a quilt without overwhelming the novelty prints around it. Use it as a blender in pieced blocks, as a background for simple patchwork, or as a calm, coordinated backing.
Its soft blue sits between the powder prints and the navy prints in the collection, so it pairs easily with Whales Powder, Dots Powder, Gingham Blue, and Nighttime Navy. Beyond quilting, this 100% cotton flannel is a good fit for receiving blankets, crib sheets, burp cloths, and pajamas, where a quiet print is often easier to coordinate than a busy one. Because it works with so many other prints, it is worth buying a little extra. Prewash before cutting to allow for shrinkage.
