Moonflower Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore
Moonflower combines curved petal piecing with appliqued circles in blocks arranged on the diagonal. Partial blocks carry the petal shapes to the sides and corners, while appliqued leaves form a separate outer border. Featuring Enchant batiks, the intermediate quilt finishes at 56.5 by 70.5 inches. The leaf appliques are made from joined fabric strips, and the pattern offers turned-edge or raw-edge applique options for the circles and leaves that complete the pieced design.
