War of Light: Black Lantern

Black Lantern by Vangi Hermida
8.66" (22cm) paper pieced

As you know, Fandom In Stitches is full of free patterns designed by fans for fans.

Vangi took this to heart when she wanted to create her own War of Light quilt, starting with Lilja's Green Lantern pattern as inspiration. She went on to design 8 patterns for her quilt and has very generously shared them with our community.

We will be posting one pattern a week through September...enjoy!
