Next - assemble the quilt!

Update #1: Moonlight Sonata Quilt

designed by Jenny Foltz & Toni Kay Steere of Wing and a Prayer Design.

It's time to test the pattern and make the quilt!

Moonlight Sonata is the 5th pattern from Wing & Prayer Designs our quilt sewer Sue has tested!
The quilt featurers a popular gray to navy color palette with highlights of pink and green. The finished quilt measures 103" square.
The pattern includes:
Eight 12 1/2" blocks
A 24" center block
Sashing sections
Setting triangles
Pieced corner-quadrants and borders


Sue loves to make quits from these designers because the patterns are are easy to follow with lots of instructions and pictures.  Fabrics are numbered, and each illustrated block shows the numbered fabrics in their positions.



The first thing Sue does is cut up all 10 fabrics for all the blocks, settings etc....
and layers them in a sequential pile with the first block on top.

2012 BOM NORTHERN STAR: Month 1 Review

Our quilt kit tester Sue's thoughts about the Northern Star BOM fabric, quilt and pattern:

About the fabric: The colors are so much richer then the photograph.  

About the pattern: Sue loves the patterns from Wing & a Prayer Designs!  The directions are soooo easy with lots of visual diagrams.   The blocks are very accurate because you trim them down to the correct size, and having exact size of blocks makes the quilt go together better!

About the first blocks: Even though 4 segments of these blocks are paper pieced (and Sue's not a paper-piecer) once she got into the rhythm of doing it that this way - it was easy.

See our first beautiful blocks:

Quilt & Pattern Review: CARDINAL in the PINES

We finished our quilt  Cardinal in the Pines  from Wing and a Prayer Designs and we love it!

 Finished size: 67" x 78"

Fabric: is from Timeless Treasures Cardinal Season. We loved working the these rich colors and the fabric has a very nice hand to it. 

Pattern: This was the 4th quilt we've made using their patterns and it was easy to read with lots of pictures. It includes easy instructions on how to fussy cut the center cardinal.

There was one big change we made and that was making two half squares at a time instead of using the grid included in the pattern.

Purchase your kits here for $99.95 + shipping Cardinal in the Pines (kit includes pattern and all fabrics for top, borders and binding)

It's off to the quilter now.  We are going to have it quilted edge to edge.

The center block is one my favorites because this block was easy and fun!

We wanted to try to make this block in a larger size to fit on a table. The fabric collections we used was Moda Sunkissed. We started with 8" squares then recut to 7 1/2 and ended up with a table cloth 52" square. Isn't it lovely!
