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!
