Sandy Gervais’ Morning Latte fabric collection is cozy and full of charm. Warm neutrals, soft florals, and comforting motifs give these prints a calm, timeless feel. They’re perfect for quilts that feel welcoming and beautifully lived-in.
Big, easy curves paired with alternating hearts create pure quilty magic in the New Light Quilt.
Let’s Make a New Light Block
Flower Units
Start by cutting out your Flower Backgrounds.
Fold 6″ x 9″ rectangles in half and prepare to cut.
Fold Template in half and place on the fold.
This makes it really easy to use your rotary cutter.
The New Light Quilt features curved pieces that make up whimsical flowers with dainty heart centers. I like to complete the curved piecing first. The throw size New Light pattern showcases six different prints that make up the Flower Units.
Simply lay the Template on top and trip off the outer edges.
If you happen to have The Clammy 8″ ruler by Latifah Saafir, it works perfectly for the Flower Petals.
The Throw size version features (6) different prints.
When sewing your Flower Units, I find pinning your centers is all that is required. This will allow you to slowly sew a 1/4″ seam following the line of the curve. Use your fingers to gently guide the fabric, making sure the edges stay lined up.
Heart Center Units
You will start by making your HSTs. Use the pattern to transform your HSTs into Hour Glass blocks and save big on time.
Line up 2 1/4″ point at center of Hour Glass.
Trimmed to 4 1/2″.
Turn and repeat on the other (2) sides.
Your Heart Centers!
The Hour Glass Unit becomes the center of the block, where each heart meets.
Leaf Units
Using the 8 at a time HST method, these corner units sew up quickly!
Technique: 8 at a time HST
Trimmed to perfection!
