Moon Garden - The Next Border Added

 

This is how my Moon Garden looks with the Bow Tie border added. 

I've been participating in the Medallion Quilt Along at Em's Scrapbag.  I found there was an error in the original instructions for this border and so my Bow Ties ended up at 4 inches finished instead of 3 inches. I used it as a design opportunity and so added the black one inch border all around and just added a border with bigger and fewer Bow Ties. 

It will be time to plant a real Moon Garden soon I hope. Seeds have been ordered and received. Now I just need the weather to warm up a bit.

Power outages off and on here because of ice, snow and wind.  It was out for a brief time after midnight and for two hours this morning. More outages expected.  The lights just flickered. I have some hand work ready, a lantern handy and just need to download a book to my Kindle.

This is my Moon Garden Medallion Quilt center. 

There's a Medallion Quilt Along going on at Em's Scrapbag.  We start with a 24 inch center of our choice and Emily will release tutorials for borders over the next few months until we end up with a lap sized quilt.   

I decided I would use my black and white and black/white scraps to make a Moon Garden. I have a few glow in the dark threads in my stash that I will use for quilting when the time comes. 

I plant an actual Moon Garden almost every year with Moonflower, Nicotiana, Four-O-Clocks and Datura.  (And that reminds me that I haven't ordered seeds yet). 

Now my center is ready for the next round. 

Oh Scrap! at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework
