GO! Night Star Quilt - free pattern

 

Hello Quilty friends! Today I'm sharing a FREE pattern I designed for AccuQuilt - the GO! Night Star Quilt Pattern (here).  I absolutely loved making this quilt! I used the brand new AccuQuilt GO! Setting Triangles 9" Die ... I definitely want all the sizes so I can make all the "on point" quilts without needing to do math ;). 

By combining both GO! Qube 8" Mix & Match  AND the 8" Corners Companion set- we are able to make these perfect stars with a fun shoe-fly block as a secondary pattern.

I was able use the brand-new Stay Gold Collection designed by Melody Miller with Ruby Star Society for Moda Fabrics ... love it! The colors and prints are bright and bold - just so fabulous!

GO! Night Star Quilt 46.5" x 46.5"

Supplies

AccuQuilt Dies

• GO! Night Star Quilt Pattern - free
• GO! Mix & Match Qube 8"Block
• GO! Companion Qube 8" Corners
• GO! Setting Triangles 9"
• GO! Strip Cutter 1 1/2" (1" finished)

• 1/2 yard - Orange Binding
• 56" x 56"  Backing

You may have noticed I used the GO! 8" Qube dies, but used the GO! 9" Setting Triangles ... that is because there is 1" sashing ... so the larger GO! 9" Setting Triangles are needed.  I share some fun little math facts in the FREE GO! Night Star Quilt Pattern ;)

Usually, I avoid "on point" quilts because of the quilty math required for Corner and Side Setting Triangles, so I'm really excited about these BRAND NEW AccuQuilt GO! Dies! The GO! Setting Triangle Dies are available in 4", 6", 8", 9", 10", and 12" sizes (here) - yay!!!

I chose to use (3) different border prints and I love it! I think the colorful borders make the quilt even more fun looking! Plus you can rotate the quilt so your favorite border is on the top or side or bottom.

If you want see my GO! Night Star Quilt "in person" check out the AccuQuilt Release Video for the new GO! Setting Triangles Dies.

I machine pieced and quilted the GO! Night Star Quilt on my Janome M7 sewing machine, which I LOVE! It pieces and quilts perfectly!

I took so many photos of my GO! Night Star Quilt as I'm totally smitten with it. I'm going to have to make another one because the original quilt is at AccuQuilt.

Don't forget to download the FREE GO! Night Star Quilt Pattern (here)

I really love the bright orange fabric for the binding - such a fun pop of color!

Let me know if you love making "on point" quilts! They take a bit more "brain power" when sewing, but I do love the finished quilt! The AccuQuilt GO! Setting Triangles will make it so much easier!

Layered Cake - Tiny Treaters Quilt

Trick or Treat to the cutest Tiny Treaters! Tiny Treaters is the newest fabric collection designed by Jill Howarth for Riley Blake Designs - available HERE. This collection is full of adorable prints in fun colors plus a few prints glow in the dark - so fun!! 

Originally,  I was going to make my Park Quilt with the Tiny Treaters Collection, but when the fabric arrived - I changed to Layered Cake Quilt! I just love all the prints together...no background fabric required!

Layered Cake Quilt Pattern Available on Etsy or PayHip

It was easy to make an adjustment to my Layered Cake Quilt Pattern by simply substituting the Border Print Row with Row 2.  I'll chat more about making the Layered Cake Quilt without the Border Print Row.

 

Let's gather up supplies to make the 

Layered Cake Quilt - Tiny Treaters 54.5" x 68"

• 3.5 yard Backing - Gunny Sack - Halloween designed by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs

I really love all the prints mixed together! Plus the addition of pink and teal is fabulous!!! Of course the striped fabric was perfect for the binding.

I machine quilt all of my quilts freehand on my Janome M7 (love this machine). The random meander is my favorite free motion quilting pattern - it's so relaxing to quilt and crinkles so nicely when washed. Seriously - look how cute these prints are!  Are you ready for Halloween quilting yet?!?!?

I used yardage to make my Layered Cake - Tiny Treaters Quilt so I had a  bit left over for a pieced backing. Using your left over fabrics is a great way to help manage your fabric stash plus it looks fabulous!
