Bali Wedding Star

Originally designed in 1996 by Bradley and Judy Niemeyer, the Bali Wedding Star has become a beloved icon in the quilting world—an enduring symbol of romance, craftsmanship, and innovation. With redesigns in 2008, 2014, 2016, and 2018, this pattern evolves alongside our techniques, ensuring every new release is more efficient, more elegant, and more inspiring than the last.

This latest update celebrates the heart of the design while embracing modern ease. Using 2-½” strips to create dazzling ring sets, Bali Wedding Star is compatible with all Quiltworx Strip Sets—and now features the stunning Apple Cider Strip Set in rich Tonga Batiks. These warm, spicy tones evoke the golden glow of autumn, wrapping your quilt in a sense of comfort and timeless beauty.

You can find the Apple Cider Strip Set by contacting your favorite Certified Quilt Shops or browsing kits available through the Quiltster Marketplace. We also offer a version using the very popular Tim Holtz Strip Set, curated by Judel Niemeyer, available by clicking the Buy Now button on the top right.
