The Cow Jumped Over the Moon Free Quilt Pattern by Debby Kratovil
The Cow Jumped Over the Moon brings a nursery-rhyme scene into the center of a 51 inch square quilt. Cow, moon and star appliqué sit among framed square blocks and corner-pieced octagon blocks made with The Cat and the Fiddle collection. The nine blocks form three rows, surrounded by inner and outer borders. The design includes reversed appliqué templates and supports a chosen hand or machine appliqué method for assembling the central scene.
