Sweet Tea pattern
 

I just finished completing this top that I started in a class at my favorite quilt shop. It was the latest Easy as Pie project. Several times a year they have a class, which is more like a mini retreat, where they choose a simple pattern, so everyone can get a lot done from 6 p.m. to midnight. It is by Basic Grey, and I used an older jelly roll by Sweetwater called Authentic. I was so impressed that all the blocks ended up being the same size and they were easy to put together!

Oh how pretty! Did you set them together with sashing or not? They sort of remind me of the Chimney Sweep block. I'd love to see the whole top or completed quilt. Glad you had fun making it.

Just looked up the pattern and I see if you set them together without sashing they form a sort of chain. Your blocks are so pretty. You did a great job on them. Thanks for sharing.

Great quilt! Had to get the pattern, maybe I can clear out some jelly rolls. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Jan. I haven't taken a picture of the finished top since we haven't had any sun for days. I did it just like the pattern says to. It seemed to take as long to arrange the blocks as it did to sew them together! It was hard to keep from putting the same color centers next to each other or the same print.

Thanks, ctrysass! The size I made would have ended up being almost square, so I added another row to get it to be rectangular. You only use 1 jelly roll strip per block, so I didn't use a whole jelly roll.

Beautiful quilt....I love it.... Can't wait to see the whole quilt.... :-)

I love your quilt and this pattern. The fabrics are beautiful also.
I would like to get this pattern. Does anyone have one they would like to sell/borrow?

Glad you had fun! Great blocks~~

Looks great!!

What a fun class! Blocks look great and I can't believe you just needed one strip per block. Would love the pattern.

Your blocks look great. Something I would like to try.

looking good. Please post the finished quilt.

whats the name of the pattern mary

Oh boy, I really like this! Love the colors you have and it's really cute! It looks like it would be fun to piece. Would love to see it finished as well.

Very nicely done. I love the more simple block patterns. Yours look just great.

You did a great job on here, and it looks fun to make.

Looks very modern and will make a wonderful throw of this winter.

Very pretty. I really like the pattern. I would love to see it finished. Very fun!

Nicely done. I have been wanting to make this pattern. Finally have the batik jelly roll strip and the black Kona cotton. Now all I have to do is find the time.

That is a very interesting pattern. I haven't seen it before. You have done a great job.

The pattern is called Sweet Tea, by Basic Grey.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. I know that when I post a quilt in progress, I'm going to get a push from all of you to get it finished! I hope I can keep working on this one. First I have to find something for the backing. It was fun to sew this one.

nicely done

Sweet Tea with Honey
 

Here is a pix of my quilt top, that was inspired by this post! Thanks again for posting your lovely blocks. Just had to try it! I was out of solid white fabric so used a pale/soft yellow (honey) for the background. The yellow doesn't show up much in the picture. I used 2 blocks of each solid color and all the prints are different. All the fabrics were from my stash. I made 24 blocks and its 60" x 64" and I'm going to just bind it. What a fun block! Now I'm using that block to make some Christmas placemats.

I love the Moda's Authentic fabric you used for this one. It made it so interesting to stare at.

Yours came out sweet too jan. Did you girls use jelly rolls?

Thanks. No, I just cut 2 1/2 inch strips from different pieces of stash fabric.

Oh but it sure would be perfect pattern for using up the jellyrolls. Good to remember. I have a few of those I need to use up.

very nice!!!

Jan, that's wonderful! My goodness, you are fast! It is a pretty easy block to make and creates a neat look. I'm glad I could inspire you. Now you have to give me a nudge to get mine done! First I have to find a backing for it. Isn't it nice to be able to use your stash like that?

I did use a jelly roll, although it didn't take a whole one. One jelly roll strip was used for each block, which meant I used 24 strips. It was a good thing I didn't need all of them, because I mis-cut a couple of them! Thanks for the kind words. I like the Authentic line, too. I had used some of the boxed numbers fabric to make a wallet a few years ago.
