I can't find it on the site. On the page before they are selling a Parisian Baskets quilt kit and pattern but the Nights is only listed as a kit.

Is the pattern known in the quilting world as something else? Anything like it you can refer me to. I'm happy to buy a pattern by book or download.

I'm a new quilter but an experienced sewest because of this I would like to try to keep it fairly simple, no joining of 16 points at one point.

Thank you for any help.

I saw a quilt in a consignment shop with this pattern, and bought the fabric for it-------still not done. A fairly simple pattern, but shows great.

I drooled over several CT collections last night.

The MOONLITE BLOOMS collection caught my eye. I'm considering a Warm Wishes using the big print for the framed blocks, the multi-scribble on black for the other big blocks and then the green/gold/black for the rail fence blocks.

AND GLORY BE! the same 108" scribbles for the backing.

I also love the Moonlit Blooms fabrics and am thinking of ordering some samplers of it. And I had the page turned down for the quilt kit on the back. I don't need either as I really haven't been in the mood to do any sewing ~ but then again maybe those would get me in the mood.

Try giving Connecting Threads a call - they may be able to get a copy of the pattern for you!

The quilt is 101", which would work out to 6" finished blocks in outer border - 1-1/2" finished narrow borders either side of 4" finished squares. 12" finished blocks in center.

I bought yardage and the sampler of the Moonlit Blooms. It is beautiful. The colors are rich and vibrant. Of all their fabric this is my favorite so far.
