The Western Monarch is the newest release in the celebrated Congo Star Mixer series, designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer. This stunning quilt captures the magic of monarch migrations at twilight, with a colorway created by Judel Niemeyer in Quiltster using fabrics from the Monarch Migrations collection by Hoffman Fabrics.

The design features saturated yellows and fiery oranges that evoke the glowing wings of monarchs in flight, set against a backdrop of deep navy and a soft cream background that mirrors the fading light of dusk. The interplay of warm and cool tones creates a quilt that feels both vibrant and serene, a tribute to nature’s evening spectacle.

Measuring 96″ x 96″, Western Monarch offers flexibility for quilters who wish to expand their project. By purchasing either a 3- or 4-Tiered Adjustable Border package, you can enlarge the quilt to suit your space and vision. Replacement Papers are also available, making it easy to create a second quilt without buying the pattern again.

To make your quilting experience smoother and more efficient, we offer a curated selection of notions that pair beautifully with this project. From glue pens, glue sticks, and repositionable glue to precision rulers, fold templates, and rotary cutters, these tools are designed to streamline your workflow and enhance accuracy at every step.

The Western Monarch is more than a quilt—it’s a journey through twilight skies, where migrating monarchs inspire artistry and craftsmanship. Whether you’re expanding the borders or starting a second quilt, this pattern offers endless opportunities to bring the beauty of nature into your home.
