Summer Moon

I’m making this quilt as a BOM at my local shop. I like the intricate look of tiny blocks so I was drawn to the format of this project - each block made small, smaller, and smallest. That’s the good part - it’s a sweet looking quilt. However, I don’t like many of the construction methods. For example, one of the first blocks had us make flying geese using the flip corner method and then sew those units end to end. That meant sewing through 6 layers of fabric at the end of the seam. We pressed that seam open, but it still left a sizable bump. Second, the sizes given in the text for the blocks, and the units that make up each block (flying geese, half square triangles, etc.) are unfinished while the block illustrations are finished. I wish the author had simply stated “unfinished” after the measurement. I’ve trimmed things to the wrong size more than once because my subconscious mind sees the finished size illustration and thinks the instructions are finished size as well. I’m reminded when I’m 3/4 of the way assembling the block and the pieces don’t fit together. I’ll finish the project and it will be fine, but I doubt I’ll buy anything else from this author.

This quilt book is wonderful. It arrived the day after I ordered.

This is a quilt book with patterns for the block of the month quilt Summer Moon. Block patterns are offered in 3 different sizes, and so far the instructions are very clear to follow. So happy I decided on this book.

I am currently working on this as a challenge quilt with a group of women from our Fresno CA retreat. The instructions are easy and photos have been included. Lots of points and SCANT seams are the ticket. It will be a wonderful quilt.

Can’t wait to try these blocks.

Will start this quilt in the spring.

Love having the book !!!

Great book to have and use for all quilters. Very easy blocks to piece and enjoy.

Very nice

This booklet gave me inspiration to make new quilt squares in different sizes.
