In her tutorial, Deb Gehringer ingeniously repurposes leftover fabric scraps into stunning quilted star ornaments, showcasing her resourcefulness and creative flair. Drawing from the vibrant remnants of her previous projects like the Five Squared Quilt and the golden hues of the Four Patch Charm quilt, Deb breathes new life into these materials.

Her inspiration stems from nostalgic memories of crafting a Christmas tree skirt for her son years ago, igniting a desire to continue the tradition of handmade holiday decor. To bring her vision to life, Deb selects a curated collection of metallic fabrics from renowned brands such as Marcus Brothers, RJR, and Andover Fabrics, infusing her ornaments with festive elegance and charm.

This free tutorial not only demonstrates Deb’s ingenuity in repurposing materials but also celebrates the joy of handmade holiday decorations, adding a personalized touch to festive celebrations.
