Free Pattern: The Aurora Quilt

Good Morning!  My name is Jessica Dayon and I’m so happy to be here today to share a free quilt pattern with you!

I have been busy making end of the school year gifts for my kids’ teachers.  I came up with this design for a teacher who is retiring after this year. Her favorite color is blue so I did a blue Irish chain quilt and I added in a little something extra in honor of all the years that she was a teacher.

Piecing the Quilt

I used Blueberry Delight by Bunny Hill.  These prints are just gorgeous!  First, I cut all the pieces I needed to make the quilt top.  Then, I worked on making all of the blocks and assembling the quilt top.

Quilting the Quilt

After the top was together, it was time to quilt it! I loaded the quilt onto my large PRO frame.

I used my Q 24 with Q-matic to quilt this quilt. I chose Ginger Snap by Apricot Moon Designs edge-to-edge design.

The Q-matic and Q 24 went to work stitching out the design!  I love watching it stitch out!

Completed Aurora Quilt

After the design finished stitching out, I trimmed the quilt and added the binding. Here is how it turned out!

I am so happy with how it turned out!  The pantograph stitched out beautifully.

Thank you for following along with me today! I hope you love this quilt as much as I do and that you have fun making it!
