Moon Flower Quilt Revealed

Moon Flower fabrics by Kanvas for Benartex

This is the week to reveal how our blocks were put together. I hope you've enjoyed seeing all three of our quilts and our processes. Make sure you visit the Sew in Love with Fabric blog today for the reveal of all 3 quilts.

Cutting and sewing 12 blocks and putting them together into a quilt top on a deadline is pretty intense (even though I've done it dozens of times in my magazine editor days). This was no exception! I've come down to the last two borders and I got a quick pic of it on my deck this afternoon. Let's see the individual blocks again:

Stephanie's Block #1

 Here's Lisa's block in Moon Flower fabrics:

Lisa's Block #2

And, finally, my block:

Debby's Block #3

Here they are, 4 of each block, in my quilt assembly. 2-1/2" strips for sashing with 2-1/2" corner squares. I cut my borders at 5-1/2" and had to piece them. Because the print is "busy", you can't see the seam.

Head on over to the Sew in Love with Fabric web site to see how I assembled the 12 blocks with the sashings and corner stone squares.

I'm not sure how I'm going to quilt this, even though I have a Handi Quilter Sweet 16 machine. This is larger than most items I quilt. I need to walk away from this for a week or so so I can plan how I'm going to quilt it. I will let the fabrics tell me what they prefer!
