The Spring Moon Quilt by Lou Orth Designs is a playful, modern quilt pattern featuring colourful circles and semicircles arranged across a beautiful, contrasting background.
With its bold geometric shapes and clean, contemporary design, Spring Moon offers a fresh approach to traditional curved patchwork. The repeating circles and half-moons create a beautiful sense of movement while showcasing your favourite quilting cottons and colour combinations.
Using Drunkard's Path curved piecing, this pattern combines quarter-circle blocks to create full circles and semicircles. The construction offers a rewarding project for quilters looking to develop their curved sewing skills.
With four finished quilt sizes — Baby, Small Lap, Lap and Full — Spring Moon is perfect for creating a colourful nursery quilt, a modern handmade throw or a statement quilt for your home.
The pattern uses six feature fabric colours, which can be selected from Fat Quarters or coordinating yardage depending on your chosen size. Its repeating design makes it ideal for experimenting with bold solids, soft pastels or playful prints.
All four quilt sizes follow the same block construction and layout, with the individual curved blocks changing size. The PDF includes printable templates for each size, clear illustrated instructions and a colouring page to help plan your own fabric combinations.

Suggested Fabrics
This pattern is designed for stable woven quilting fabrics. The designer's yardage requirements assume fabric with a minimum usable width of 40" (approximately 102 cm).
For colourful circles and semicircles:
- Quilting cottons in coordinating colours and prints
- Cotton poplin
-
Solid-coloured quilting cotton
- Fat Quarters in complementary shades
- Small-scale floral or geometric prints
For the background:
- Solid-coloured quilting cotton
- White, ivory or cream cotton for a soft, airy appearance
- Dark contrasting cotton for a dramatic modern design
Tip: Choose six feature fabrics with enough contrast against your background to highlight the moon shapes. A coordinated palette of solids can give the quilt a clean, contemporary finish, while mixed prints create a more playful look.
Curved Piecing Tip: Pin or clip the centre and endpoints of each curved seam before sewing. Take your time to ease the fabric gently around the curve without stretching it.

Shipping fees are automatically calculated based on the weight of your order, with several delivery options and prices available.
If a carrier does not service your address, we may need to use an alternative option, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.
For remote or rural areas where delivery costs are higher, additional fees may apply. In these cases, we will provide proof of the shipping costs to ensure transparency.

For customers in other Canadian provinces, the USA, or internationally, we offer a range of shipping options through various carriers. The customer is responsible for selecting their preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note that our system provides an estimated shipping cost at checkout, which may not always reflect the actual shipping charges.
In cases of oversized orders, shipments to rural or remote areas, or delivery to P.O. boxes, the final shipping cost may differ. If this occurs, we will contact you directly with the updated shipping cost, which will be the responsibility of the customer.

These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Customers agree to pay any duties, taxes, fees, or charges required by the destination country in order for customs to release the package.

Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable.

Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
