Orbiter Quilt Pattern

Orbiter Quilt Pattern by Janet Clare 

Inspired by the beauty and mystery of the night sky the 'Orbiter' Quilt Pattern features fabric from Janet Clare's 'Astra' fabric collection for Moda. The careful arrangement of the blocks gives a striking illusion of circles and curves.

The pattern is printed in full colour and includes colour photographs, detailed layout diagrams, fabric requirements and cutting lists. Detailed block diagrams show the exact arrangement of fabrics and lots of supporting photographs, mean you can confidently re-create this design.

The pattern guides you through cutting your fabric, preparing and piecing the blocks, and includes notes on preparing the quilt backing, wadding, layering up and binding.
