Introducing Turning Wheels

 I am excited to introduce the next PBJ pattern. She's been sitting on my To Do list for a couple of years now, so it's about time she came to be.

I used the good ole fashioned Half-Square Triangle unit and the VBlock Trimmer® specialty rule to make this quilt. This gives it a circular feel, but there are no curves involved. The ruler is needed for this pattern.

The quilt is a one block quilt design with a simple change for the outside blocks. It really does come together easily.

The testers have some great quilts to share as well.

Anja's modern color choice makes this version pop! The turquoise and orange were great color choices.

Kathryn's patriotic color scheme has me all ready for July 4th!

Janice's soft pastel quilt is the perfect size for movie night!

While Sherry's quilt has me dreaming of warm firesie nights making s'mores.

I love how Beverly used a large print for her background and solids to really make those shapes stand out. Plus I'm always a fan of purple. 😉

June 2022 Monthly Color Challenge

Hello June!

This month's spice is the mustard seed. I love mustard. I love the mustard color. This might be *my* month. What I didn't know is that the mustard seed comes in more than one color. What?! I know, blew my mind, too.

If you want to know all about Mustard Seeds Nerdy Foodies is the place to go. They are the ones who told me yellow is not the only color the mustard seed comes in. Now, maybe you knew this, but remember *not a cook* so anything with food is probably going to wow me. 🤣

More from Nerdy Foodies:

What does the mustard seed taste like?

"Yellow seeds are mellow with a slight spice and sweetness while brown and black seeds are hot and sharp with bitter elements. The aroma is similar to curry leaves with a delicate spice."

What goes well with the mustard seed?

"This seasoning is extremely versatile and can pair with almost any ingredient including rice, potatoes, cabbage, cheese, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish, coriander, garlic, chilli, honey, yoghurt, ginger, coconut, and pulses."

There are alos a few recipies you can check out. I'm going to have to try the Mustard Seed Potatoes. Yummy!

Continuing with the "I didn't plan this" theme, the center of this months block could pass for the little mustard seed, especially in the 6" finished size.

This block is super simple so I hope you enjoy it, and maybe even play around with other color options while you wait for July.
