Twisted Flight Quilt Along

 It's been a few years since the last PBJ Quilt Along and I'm excited to get this one started.



The Twisted Flight Quilt pattern is a customer favorite and I think we will have a great time stitching it together.

Twisted Flight comes in multiple sizes and is beginner friendly. It's a three color quilt and I love how when the blocks are sewn together you get a second pattern.




Schedule

*NOTE! The dates have changed a little. My husband and I are moving from Minnesota to South Dakota and I'm condensing it just a bit.*

Thank you to Benartex for sponsoring this quilt along with fabric from their beautiful basics line, Whisper Weave. I'm not actually going for a Halloween colored quilt, but I am redoing my bedroom in orange. Fingers crossed I don't have to decorate with pumpkins all year long!
