Our Midnight Moon Quilt-along starts next Saturday!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're using April Rosenthal's Midnight Magic II collection, an assortment of backgrounds from the collection, Moda Basics and a few of our favorites from other collections, and the Summer Moon book from It's Sew Emma (ISE 927) to make a spooky-cool quilt by Halloween.  Moda's Tammy V and ModaLissa are making two blocks a week, and they'll be sharing tips and tricks every Saturday, and a few bonus blocks - @nithaystack and @modalissa.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's more information on Moda's Inspiration+Resources center - https://my.modafabrics.com/inspiration-resources/midnight-moon-qal

I couldn’t help myself. When the idea popped int I couldn’t help myself. When the idea popped into my head it just had to be done. April’s $5 pattern of the month is most definitely one of my best selling patterns—and obviously it doesn’t have to be all about Halloween…
Pictured here in my #candycanelanefabric and I may have plans for a spring version…and a summer version….
