Wonderment Quilt - Night Sky Version

Transcend

Nov 18

Watch the stars in their courses as one that runs about with them therein; and think constantly upon the reciprocal changes of the elements, for thoughts on these things cleanse away the mire of our earthly life.

— Macrus Aurelius, Meditations

Design Inspiration

“Eudaimonia” is the Greek word for “human flourishing.” Eudaimonia Studio designs are inspired by the ancient question of what it means to live well. The Wonderment quilt illustrates the importance of seeking out - even dwelling on - what is mysterious and beautiful. Cultivating a sense of awe provides us with perspective, humility, and connection to something greater than ourselves.

Details & Techniques

The Wonderment quilt is a 60” x 60” throw and the perfect project for a confident beginner ready to expand their skills. The pattern focuses on piecing quarter circles (the perfect introduction to sewing curves!) and offers a quick, satisfying make for seasoned quilters.

It’s also a great opportunity to dive into your fabric stash: use a fat-quarter bundle you’ve been saving (you’ll need 7 colors) or pull from your scrap pile (you’ll need 13 pieces measuring 8” x 12” each).
