Today I'm sharing the second sample of my newest pattern, Sandalwood. But before I get into the details on this quilt, I thought you might be wondering why I called this pattern Sandalwood. Sometimes, pattern names just come to me and I go with it. Sometimes it's a little more intentional and that was the case here.

I have a new pattern available!! That might not seem like a big deal. I'm a pattern designer, after all. But for whatever reason, this particular pattern just couldn't seem to make it's way to the finish line. The Sandalwood pattern is finally in my shop and I can finally share this sample quilt that has been finished for almost two and a half years.

I'm back today with a new Fabric Refresh blog post! It's been a couple of months since I've done one of these posts. There hadn't been a new fabric collection that made me want to play with it in EQ8.
Okay, that's not completely true. There have been several new collections announced lately that I absolutely love, but they won't be in stores until 2024. I don't feel like I should share mockups with fabrics you can't buy yet.
Or maybe I should, so you can preorder your fabrics? Let me know in the comments if you think I should feature future fabric collections in these posts.
Anyway, back to today's featured fabric collection. I came across Tula Pink's new collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics called Besties while online fabric shopping last weekend. It's full of bright and cheery colors along with your favorite furry friends and non-furry non-human friends. Dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, fish, hamsters, plus some great blenders.
Tula Pink often has large scale prints in her collections and Besties is no exception. My Stay Square pattern is definitely one of the best of my patterns for allowing large scale prints to shine because you don't have to cut your fabrics into really small pieces.

It's time to share the third and final Halloween quilt that I made this year! It's a Stay Square quilt using the Spooky 'n Witchy collection by Art Gallery Fabrics (just like the Ophelia quilt I blogged about a couple days ago).
But wait, I'm actually sharing two quilts in this post, so four in total? Sort of. Let me explain...

I'm back to share the second of three Halloween quilts that I made this year. I really shouldn't be spending time remaking my existing quilt patterns when I have so many unpublished designs waiting to be written and so many other things I want to do to expand Pieced Just Sew. But sometimes I find a fabric and pattern combination that really calls to me and I just can't help myself!
This Ophelia quilt made with Art Gallery Fabrics' Spooky 'n Witchy collection was one of those times. I featured this fabric/pattern combo in a Fabric Refresh blog post a few months ago and I just couldn't stop looking at it. I really, really loved how it looked, especially with the dark background. I don't use dark backgrounds very often and I definitely don't use a dark print very often. There was just something about this one and I couldn't resist seeing if it looked as great in real life.
Turns out, it looks amazing! I could not be happier with how this quilt turned out!

Are you ready to see my fourth Wayward quilt? This time it is a Halloween version using this year's collaborative collection from the designers at Ruby Star Society called Tiny Frights.
I know I've said it before and I'll say it again. While I don't like celebrating Halloween, I love, love, love Halloween fabrics and Halloween quilts. This quilt is no exception. I really like the color palette in this Tiny Frights collection. And wait until you see the extra surprise with these fabrics. Keep reading to find out!

It's that time again! The annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is tomorrow, Saturday September 16th! You can read more about Jelly Roll Day HERE, but basically it's a day created by Moda Fabrics to celebrate all of those wonderful jelly roll patterns and spend the day sewing with your favorite 2.5" strips.
If you're ready to sew but still need a pattern to use, I've got you covered! This is the fourth year in a row that I've released a jelly roll pattern right before Jelly Roll Day and I'm hoping it's a tradition I can keep up.
I'm sharing a special jelly roll themed Fabric Refresh post today. I've picked three recent Moda Fabrics collections (one is Ruby Star Society, which is owned by Moda) and have refreshed each of my previous Jelly Roll Day releases (plus a few others) in each of those three fabric lines! There's even a free pattern included, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end of this post!
If you're looking for refreshed versions of my latest pattern, Wayward, you can find those in a separate post HERE.
The first pattern that I'm featuring today is Ophelia, which was my 2022 jelly roll pattern. I still sometimes can't believe how just the right combination of block, sashing, and cornerstone arrangement can take a very simple, not-very-exciting quilt block and turn it into an amazing design! (If I do say so myself, ha!)
The first Ophelia quilt that I'm sharing is in Sherri and Chelsi's latest collection, Bountiful Blooms. This quilt always looks a bit like flowers to me so this collection full of flower prints is perfect! I even went with a yellow print for the cornerstones to imitate flower centers.
