SDS4930 Evening Star Vol6 Stamp4

The first bright star of nightfall, quiet and clear.

The Evening Star is a classic pieced star block — often a near cousin of the Sawtooth or Variable Star — whose calm geometry has made it a favourite for samplers and scrap quilts alike.

Evening Star quilts turn up in American collections from the 1800s onward, sometimes under neighbouring names depending on the region and the quilter.

🌙 Did You Know?

Many traditional star blocks share the same building units (squares and half-square triangles). Change the arrangement slightly and a Sawtooth Star can become an Evening Star — one reason star names can overlap in old pattern books.

🧵 A Little Heritage

Soft light, steady points, and a block that never goes out of style.

We've captured this design as Volume 6, Stamp 4, giving you another little piece of quilt history to add to your Heritage Quilt Society collection.
