One of the things I love about designing quilts is playingwith color placement to see what will evolve. This was definitely one of thoseblocks for me. I quickly fell in love with the warm vintage Halloween feel ofthese “moons” and the variety of ways that you could make them. So gather upyour favorite fabrics and join me. Or branch out completely and choose a Christmas,or patriotic, or summertime palette...this block is so very versatile!
