$5 Pattern of the Month - Summer Solstice!!!

 It's July and that means its time for a new $5 Pattern of the Month here at Happy Quilting!!!  And July is all about Summer Solstice.  And it is just $5 all month long!!!   

The  Summer Solstice Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version and both versions will be marked down to $5.00 for the month July.   This is such a fun quilt to make and has lots of great techniques in it.  It is a fantastic scrap buster.   It is rated for Intermediate quilters and if you don't have a lot of scraps, the pattern is also written for Fat Eighths or  Fat Quarters.  

Summer Solstice  has 6 size options.   It is an extremely versatile deign.    It uses Half Square Triangle Units, Stitch and Flip Units, Square in a Square Units, and No Waste Flying Geese Units.   So ya, lots and lots of fun piecing!!   

And like I said, Summer Solstice  is a super versatile design.  So don't feel like you have to do Yellow Grunge just because I did in the original.  It looks aweome in a rainbow of colors as well.   Don't these Batiks just shine in the design!!   And not quilting your print pieces and only quilting the background will make the piecing pop all the more!  Truly, just grab any  Fat Eighth or Fat Quarter Bundle or dig through all your scrap bins, and this quilt will come out amazing every time!!   

And remember, you don't have to use a white background either!!  I finished up piecing this quilt top of  Summer Solstice using Cannon Beach with a Grunge Cobalt Backgounrd and it is just stunning.    And yes, it is still in the "To Be Quilted" pile, yup, another top for the new Happy Quilting Ultra Marathon ;)   I'll try to get these done this month so you can see them all finished up while it is still the Pattern of the Month ;) 

  

 

And that is my $5.00 Pattern of the Month!!!  July 2026 is all about the Summer Solstice!!!   You are going to have so much fun making this quilt ;)   And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Summer Solstice quilts I would love to see them!!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc and #stackedsquaresquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
