It's time for the mockups! I appreciate your excitement about this pattern — one of my main goals when writing patterns it write something that will help you fall even more in love with quilting and I think this is a great one for that, especially for beginners.
Of course I had fun making these mockups because it is one of my favorite things to do. I made quite a few this time and tried to give a range of different looks.
Remember when I had this very tempting stack of fabric a few weeks ago? For about 2 seconds, I wasn't sure what to do with the collection, but I pretty quickly zeroed in on making the Luna Quilt.
Bon Voyage is a beautiful collection! And it has one of my favorite shades of blue — I have no idea what that shade is called, but it's this one. Blues in this shade seem to be underrepresented in the fabric world so I always snatch them up when I see them.
How fun is this Spooky Darlings collection? I have loved the Ruby Star Society Darlings collections (see quilt here) and the new holiday versions are so adorable (yes, there is a Christmas-y collection in addition to this Halloween one).
The Luna Quilt Pattern was just right for this collection. I love that this pattern can pretty much work with anything. Larger scale graphic prints? Yep. Lots of variation in color and value? You got it. Pumpkins, rabbits, and ghosts? Yes, that too.
Meet Luna! This is a quick, jelly roll or fat quarter friendly quilt that is great for newer quilters of anyone looking for a fun, fast project.
And of course, it also works for stash or scrap busting - the pattern includes instructions for making a single block so that it is easy to make a scrappy version or change the number of blocks in your quilt. I haven't made a scrappy version YET, but you know it's in the plans.
I know it's not Christmas yet, it's not even Christmas in July yet, but I really like this collection and felt festive so here are some mockups using Holly Jolly by Urban Chiks.
The pink/red combo is my favorite part about this collection so I went a little heavy on the pink for some of these mockups. I am also including a mockup using my new pattern which will be available next week and which is super quick to make + jelly roll friendly!
