2025: Pick n' Mix

Designed by Pam Schoessow
Completed quilt top August 31, 2025

Audiobooks: The Edge – David Baldacci

This pattern was published in the June 2025 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. It is a very simple design; I used my mid-century fabrics which gives the quilt an energetic and nostalgic vibe that brings back memories of vintage kitchens and cheerful gatherings. Yes, I am a member of the Baby Boomer generation!

I have been wanting to make a red and yellow quilt for some time when this pattern showed up in my magazine. The Designer Challenge pattern for the June 2024 issue was a simple churn dash. In Joanna’s version, she turned the triangle-square corners around to make it look like a circle.  I pulled out my red and yellow stash and worked up a beautiful lap quilt.

I got myself and a friend in trouble with this BOM. Offered by Stitchin’ Heaven from Texas, I just could not let this one pass me by. And neither could my California partner in crime.

We spent many months making 80 scrappy 6-inch Ohio Stars, and 12 baskets, all surrounded by butterscotch sashing and borders.
