I haven't given any fabric requirement details because this is a quilt that is best made out of scraps. The more variety of fabrics, the more interesting this will become. So let's start!
Make templates A, B, C, D and E. Mark each one with an OHP marker or a sticky label. Choose your fabrics and cut out, adding a ¼” seam allowance. Don't forget to reverse E to get its mirror image. Mark the guide lines on the seam allowances of A, B, C and D.
Sew E to Er, stopping sewing at the seam line, then sew A to these two, matching guide line to seam.
Sew A to D, matching guide lines.
Sew B to C - twice. Match those guide lines!
Now you can speed things up if you like by machining the rest together, but take care to match the edges of the moon precisely. Pin carefully either side of the seam, check, then remove the pins just before you reach them with the sewing machine.
Sew a BC piece to either side of AEEr, then sew AD into place. Start sewing at the centre, not the outside, and make sure you sew no further than the sewing line. This will enable the block to lay flat.
You have been working with quite a few bias edges, so your block may have distorted a little. No problem. Draw an 8” x 5” rectangle on your ironing board. Pin the block to this, right side down and matching the seam lines to the drawn lines, then spray with cold water. Press gently with a warm iron to ease the block into shape. Leave it until it is completely dry, then unpin a perfect block.
Sew your blocks together in your chosen layout. Try turning a few upside down to see that effect. Some half-blocks will be required if you choose the brick layout.
Make your quilt sandwich, then quilt. I wanted to incorporate some of the creatures that share my valley with me, so I traced some copyright-free animals and drew others onto thin baking parchment, drawing with a continuous line. I then pinned my patterns into place on my quilt sandwich, and quilted along the lines. You could quilt buildings, trees, rushes - whatever you fancy. It's great fun picking off the baking parchment! Bind, add a sleeve and label - and admire your creation.
I hope you have enjoyed this pattern. I enjoy designing them.
