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 is the first quilt I have ever made, and this pattern was the best! Easy to understand and anything I don’t understand was explained in the videos. It turned out so beautiful- I want to make another one!

Fernweh
I am confident beginner, but this pattern was easy to understand very well written, and I made the cutest holiday wall hanging from it. I really appreciate the hard work the designer put into this one.

I would love to say I have started on this quilt but life has happened as it often does with a surprise wedding and unplanned sicknesses (who plans being sick!?). Every thing about purchasing this pattern went smoothly. I would buy from them agin.

Fernweh qullt pattern
Beautiful quilt with so many possibilities! The pattern is easy to follow and the instructions were thorough. I really had to take time to layout the pieces to be sure the points were facing the right direction! Watching Melanie’s videos really helped.
