Create a modern star quilt, without a typical red/white/blue look. That was Blair’s brief to herself when she envisioned the first Vira quilt. The small sawtooth stars truly have a little twinkle in them when done in a range of darks and lights of a chosen color. From there, the background of diamonds uses dark and light value of a chosen color(s) to create a nice contrast to the stars.

For this second version, which Blair made during the Vira Quiltalong, she chose all solid blues for the stars. This time, she placed them so they would gradually darken down the quilt.
