Aurora (Taffy) Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore
Aurora is an intermediate quilt by Marsha Evans Moore featuring Baliscape’s Taffy batiks. The finished quilt measures 51 by 63.5 inches. Rectangular fabric units are sliced along marked lines and rejoined with narrow inserted strips, creating two block styles in multiple fabric arrangements. The same technique produces the patchwork border units. Five block rows alternate with sashing, and plain borders separate the center from the pieced outer border with corner squares.
