Why We Love It The expansive geometry of the Magenta Star allows your favorite fabrics to truly sing without getting lost in tiny patchwork pieces. It works equally well with a coordinated modern fabric collection or an artfully curated two-tone palette.

Coral and Olive Inspiration

• High-Impact Contrast: Pair vibrant jewel tones (like rich magenta, teal, or warm ochre) against a crisp white, cream, or charcoal solid background to make the central starbursts leap forward.

• Modern Floral Star: Use hero florals for the star centers and frame them with tonal blenders and rustic stripes to create depth within each point.

• Maker Coordinates: Coordinates beautifully with Moda Bella Solids or Kona Cotton, Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting (108" wide for the Queen size!), and Aurifil 50wt cotton thread.
