Sun, Moon and Stars Free Quilt Pattern by Susan McDermott
Description:
Sun, Moon and Stars combines blanket-stripe blocks, square-in-square patchwork and appliqued shapes in a 34 by 40 inch quilt. Susan McDermott’s design uses Nancy Gere’s Santa Fe collection, with fat eighths and fat quarters supplying varied prints. The blocks are arranged in diagonal rows with setting triangles, while alternating brown and blue half-square-triangle units form the border. Twelve applique blocks repeat the sun, moon and star shapes across the quilt.
