I am endlessly fascinated with star quilt blocks. You could easily get lost in a rabbit hole of all the different ways to put them together. The Fernweh pattern (pronounced FIEN-VEE, the German word for wanderlust is a star within a star block. The inner portion is the ever-familiar sawtooth star, while the outer portion looks as if it’s bursting to life.
I couldn’t settle on a style while designing Fernweh. So instead, I’ve created the pattern in two different styles of quilts. There’s the style pictured on the cover (version 1), and a reversed style that you’ll see within the pattern.
Because the two patterns are not a “true” reversal of foreground and background, I’ve written them as two separate patterns, both comprising the Fernweh pattern. Simply choose which version you’d like to make and skip to that section.

Fernweh Quilt Pattern
This quilt is so pretty! I have been tempted to drop the quilt that I am not quite in the middle of, and start Fernweh. I have so much fabric, and I went through all of the different collections to pick my fabric. Several were promising. I keep coming back to the peach of the pattern. I've never made anything peach, but there is a first time for everything. Can't wait for the Quilt along. I now have several patterns from Meander and Make.... Love every one of them. I will buy everything in the printed form from now on. The paper patterns are so gorgeous!
