What is next for PBJ? It's been a whirlwind month of June getting a new pattern published, getting the next pattern ready for publishing and sending out the next pattern to the testers. It's hard to find time to write! Well, write more then just "cut so many pieces of fabric and then sew them back together". 

Pattern 7, yet to be named (Hey,it's not easy finding the right name), will hopefully be released in July. I have a few sneak peeks of the two quilts currently at the quilters as we speak.

This fabric!!  I love the silver. (I'm more of a silver then gold person.) This one will be the back cover quilt. Look at those points! I love a sharp point. It make me happy.

The front cover quilt is made using Pat Sloan's Hometown Girl. Man, this fabric is soft! Like, soft soft. Like lay your head down and snuggle it right in the pile of fabric, soft. Yum.

Excuse the blurry cell phone picture. For whatever reason, my Photoshop did not like this picture, but it's a sneak peek, so you aren't supposed to be able to really tell what the pattern is anyway. Right?!

Check back in a couple of days for the next giveaway. That's right, I've got something else up my sleeve and you aren't going to want to miss it! 

Happy Stitching!

Introducing Cartwheels on the Prairie

My newest pattern, "Cartwheels  on the Prairie" was released September 16th.

 This quilt has been in the works for years. Literally. 

She first started out with the name "Spring Stars". She was made with sweet pinks and greens, and a LOT of half square triangles. Even the stars were made of half square triangles. Yeah, that was a Lot of HSTs!

The original.

 So even though she was softly beautiful, I knew I needed to come up with something different. I love a perfect half square triangle, but this was a bit much, even for me. 

Enter the Square-in-a-Square block and Flying Geese block. They saved this quilt from pure craziness. It definitely came together much quicker.

Made with less half square triangles.

This baby is huge. It comes as a queen size pattern, there is a wall hanging option as well, which is also a great size for a baby quilt.

Though I decided to go with a different colorway for the cover quilt, which meant a change in the name as well, I did choose to use the pink and green for the wall hanging version. Just a tip of the hat to the original "Spring Stars" quilt that grew into "Cartwheels on the Prairie". 

You will notice there are some great open spaces, have fun and add some great quilting. 

You can pick up a "Cartwheels on the Prairie" pattern at my Etsy shop as well as the three other quilt patterns I have available. 

Happy Stitching!
