Summer Moon

Patterns are organized alphabetically, and easy to read and follow. There are even pressing directions. I love it. The photo is the Churn Dash block I made in three sizes.

The book was exactly what I expected and the service I receive from Amazon is always great. Thank you

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.

To make a quilt

This is a beautiful and extremely useful book for quilters. Collectively, the patterns in the book provide a beautiful design for a sampler quilt. But, each block could stand alone as the focus of an individual quilt. The author was thoughtful enough to include fabric suggestions for a traditional quilt as well as a modern quilt. She also provides directions to create each block in three different sizes. Any quilter could benefit from adding this book to her library. Highly recommended.

Love having the book !!!

The photos and instructions in this book are amazing. Im looking forward to learning new skills by the time I finish the entire quilt. Its a great way to challenge myself. Love it!!

Summer Moon- I’ve found the instructions to be clear and simple, and am making not one but two of these quilts as it works well in different seasonal fabrics. I’m also excited about putting together a mini quilt using only some of the 5” blocks. So versatile. Once again Carrie Nelson and It’s Sew Emma have produced a great set of patterns. Thanks!

The book was as it was described and will be used as a guide in a project which has begun.

The photos of the quilts are pretty. However, the blocks in this book are weird sizes to cut and piece . The authors premise of floating the blocks with sash strips to compensate for construction irregularities is not new. Think DEAR JANE quilt. So, if you enjoy making small blocks with lots of pieces using the 1/8 , 3/8, 7/8 marks on your rulers, you will enjoy making this quilt. The blocks are 5 inch, 6 1/2 inch and 8 inch. Good luck going down that rabbit hole, particularly if you are a beginning quilter.
