Posted on September 24, 2020 by TK HarrisonSeptember 19, 2020

“Midnight Stargazer” 2020 Block of the Month Quilt. An Original Design by TK Harrison, Owner of BOMquilts.com!

Finished Size = 67″ x 79″
Block size = 12″ finished & 12 1/2″ unfinished

Remember this quilt? This amazing, beautiful, wonderful, eye-popping, luscious, astonishing, astounding, awesome, breathtaking, fabulous & spectacular quilt 🙂 ?

Did you know that this “Midnight Stargazer” quilt design is a best seller? Yep! Abbi May’s Fabric Shop, not only sold out of the first set of quilt kits that she made, but then sold out of the second set of kits that she made!

“Star Gardner”
Block #5 Part #2 of the Midnight Stargazer 2020 BOM Quilt

There are seven different “blue” hued fabrics that make up this “Star Gardner” quilt block!
They blend together as if the colors of the ocean to the colors of the sky meet in the middle!

This quilt block’s made using all of the elements that the previous “Midnight Stargazer” quilt blocks have used: Half-Square Triangles, Flying Geese & a Square in a Square! If you were able to sew them together before then you can quickly sew them together this time!

This Block #5 Part #2 pattern is the next to last instruction set for the quilt blocks that make up my 2020 “Midnight Stargazer” BOM quilt! Know what that means?! 🙂 Next month the final quilt block instruction set will be revealed! If you’ve followed along, by the end of November, you’ll have your “Midnight Stargazer” quilt top finished!

Here’s a look at the first four blocks that have been revealed including the “Star Gardner” quilt block:

: "Midnight Stargazer"
Block #1 – Chained Star

: "Midnight Stargazer"
Block #2 – Stockyard Star

: "Midnight Stargazer"
Block #3 – Union Star

: "Midnight Stargazer"
Block #4 – Kansas Star

“Midnight Stargazer”
Block #5 – Star Gardner

Don’t they all look great? Rich? Luxurious? Oh, wait! I’ve already used a lot of adjectives to describe them! 🙂 But they really do look grand together using the “Bohemian Rhapsody” quilt fabrics designed by Dan Morris for QT Fabrics!

My fantastic, wonderful & fabulous sponsor (since 2006!) AbbiMays.com doesn’t have any “Midnight Stargazer” quilt kits left! That’s great news for her & not so great new for those who missed out on purchasing one. But do not fear! If you want to make my 2020 “Midnight Stargazer” BOM quilt, Linda at AbbiMays.com, will surely help you put a quilt kit together so you can make this beautiful quilt!

And if you feel like letting your fingers do the shopping (and who doesn’t 🙂 when they’re stuck at home?) all of her fabrics are always 10% below retail price!
