Moonlit and Solstice

I received 26 fat quarters of the latest Moonlit fabrics by Windham. Actually, I gave half of the collection to a quilting friend who is going to stitch some blocks from my upcoming calendar for me. I have 13 of them for myself. Now - what to do?

These say "blenders" to me and I wanted to combine them with some busy prints. I pulled an older Windham Collection from my stash called Solstice by Sally Kelly. Yes, they're from 2020 but they're still gorgeous and still want to be used!

I told them that it's time for another round of quilt play. Here's the first quilt I made using Solstice. This way you can see many of the prints. She's still waiting to be quilted.

I paired a few of the fat quarters from each collection to see what I like:

Here's the block I made the other day using the older Solstice and the new Moonlit. This is a 15" block in my calendar called Duck and Ducklings. It appears on June 5th. You'll see more June blocks in June. What a perfect blender - not flat; has personality.

I made another quilt using Solstice (which I've shared here before). These are my Pentagon Wreaths. And how about that trick with the border fabrics? Treating the 42" strips like rounds in a log cabin so I don't have to piece. This gives me an extra 4-5" (as the center is about 40 x 40).

I think combining the Moonlit fabrics with my leftover Solstice fabrics will be fun. I'll keep you posted!
