This is an older Jan Patek pattern and I think it was from a booklet of hers about Fat Quarter Quilts, but I'm not totally sure. It features a blackish/brown print with shirtings, reds, olives, blues and tans. And my favorite stars and moons theme.
It was a challenge at the time because the triangle arcs were paper pieced and I'm not much of a fan of paperpiecing. A little, like this, is ok and worked out well.
Here's one more to add. I made this top last year. It was on the wish list to make for a long time so finally it got made. Not quilted yet. Want to save it for this winter as it's pretty large and I am going to hand quilt it. This is also an older Jan Patek pattern from The Winter Book. More stars and moons. More blue and brown. The striped blue indigo is a favorite piece of fabric. I bought tons of that print and never get tired of it. Still have some left; I'll be a sad quilter whenever the last of it gets used up.
That laundry mountain is calling at me...............

I love both quilts!! I have a few fav fabs too that will be a sad day when they are finally gone.
Oh both of them are wonderful! I think I like the top one the best!
You have two wonderful quilts here. I enjoy fabrics and patterns with moons and stars as well, but I haven't made any yet. Just another on my lengthy bucket list.
Both of your quilts are wonderful. I love using Jan Patek's pattern too.
Your fav fab truly won't be gone, just part of some of your fav quilts.
I love these Susie! So beautiful!!
I love both of these quilts and they have been on my bucket list for quite some time. I need to get the pattern for the top one. You have given me inspiration!
