Classic



This is the twelfth and last Moda Frivol quilt. Or rather what I made with the contents of the tin. I’ve been looking forward to this one for months, ever since I saw it was going to be BLUE. I forced myself to finish the other eleven tops before starting it. I must confess to some disappointment when I finally did open the last tin. I’d assumed I could use the Quilt-in-a-Day method to make the flying geese that form the eight points of each little star. At the very least I expected to trim the flying geese with one of my many templates. The pattern (pictured below) calls for twenty-one 5” stars, which means 84 1.25x2.5” finished geese. I could have used my 1x2” template (144 times!) and made thirty-six 4” stars. Instead I used the 1.5x3” template and made fifteen 6” stars. I’m really happy with the result, and it only took a few afternoons.
