Sunrise Quilt: Albion

Hi Friends! I loved sewing my Sunrise Quilt with the new Albion Collection by Amy Smart for Riley Blake Designs. The floral prints and colors are fabulous. I knew this collection would need a quilt pattern with large blocks so the fabric would shine. My Sunrise Quilt Pattern is the perfect match!

The Sunrise Quilt is a block based quilt so it's easy to make the quilt larger or smaller by making more or less blocks. I chose to enlarge the quilt by adding a border as I love the Albion Blue Flowers print.

Sunrise Quilt  77" x 77"

Supplies:

• Sunrise Quilt Pattern available in Pattern Shop or Etsy
• 18 Fat Quarter: Albion by Amy Smart for Riley Blake Designs
• 2 yards Background: Albion Ash Dots
• 2.5 yards Sashing and Blocks:  Albion Cream Flowers
• 0.75 yards Binding:  Albion Blue Stripes
• 1.5 yards Border:  Albion Blue Flowers
• 5 yards Backing:

Optional

• Bloc-loc half square triangle for block trimming OR
• AccuQuilt GO! 12" Qube

For perfectly sized half-square triangles - I recommend trimming your blocks with a Bloc-loc half-square triangle ruler OR using the appropriately sized AccuQuilt Die. Having perfectly sized blocks makes piecing your quilt so much easier!

OPTIONAL Outer Border Instructions

The original Sunrise Quilt doesn't have a border, but adding an outer border is super easy! 

• Choose 1.5 yards of your favorite print - mine is: Albion Blue Flowers
• Cut (8) 5.5" x WOF strips
• Sew strips together to form one very long narrow strip
• Measure quilt length. Example Quilt Length of 66.5"*. Cut (2) outer border strips 5.5" x 66.5"*. Sew (1) outer border strip to right side of quilt and (1) outer border strip to left side of quilt.
• Measure quilt width. Example Quilt Width of 77"*. Cut (2) outer border strips 5.5" x 77"*. Sew (1) outer border stripe to top of quilt and (1) outer border strip to bottom of quilt.

* Cut your border strips to the measured length and width of your quilt.

Binding Cutting Instructions if adding Border:

• Cut (8) 2.5" x WOF of binding fabric.

Sunrise Quilt Pattern is available in Pattern Shop or Etsy

Let's chat about quilting first. Keep on reading for cross stitch....I made another super cute tiny pillow.

--- Moonbeams: Peace & Plenty Blocks ---

This month we are making (4) Moonbeams Peace & Plenty Quilt Blocks (pattern here).  Fat Quarter Shop has Moonbeams Quilt Kits available with Strawberry Lemonade fabric by Sherri & Chelsi...it's super cute! 

As it's fun to see different version of the Moonbeams Quilt,  I'm quilting with Old Glory by Lella Boutique. (also available at Fat Quarter Shop)

Quarter Square Triangles and Flying Geese Tips for perfect blocks: 

• I use my AccuQuilt GO! 3.5" unfinished (3" finished) quarter square triangle die or 12" Mix & Match Qube  to cut perfect blocks each time.  This is my preferred method as trimming isn't necessary so it's also the quickest!
• OR use  It's Sew Emma 3.5" unfinished (3" finished) quarter square triangle foundation paper

• I use my  AccuQuilt GO! 3" x 6" finished flying geese die or 12" Mix & Match Qube
• OR use It's Sew Emma 3" x 6" flying geese foundation paper

Supplies: clickable links

• Moonbeams Ohio Star Blocks (pattern here)
• Moonbeams Quilt Kit
• Moonbeams Backing Kit
• Moonbeams Foundation Paper Kit

Melanie's version 

• Old Glory Fabric by Lella Boutique

---Moonbeams Charity Cross Stitch Along---

You may have noticed, my project looks a lot different from the original Moonbeams Charity Stitch. Instead of stitching the Moonbeams as one large project, I'm going to stitch the motifs separately and make a coordinating pillow each month!  

This sweet pillow is 4" x 4" and so cute! It will be perfect for Patriotic decor! It's so fun how much different a pattern can look when you change the colors. I  love how both of these pillows coordinate together!
