Quilt for Baby & Beyond Sew Along


The upcoming sew along that I'm hosting is going to be for Quilts for Baby & Beyond! I’m excited to celebrate the one year anniversary since the release of the book & Baby William’s first birthday. My pregnancy with William was our motivation for finishing up the book and getting it out into the world when we did last year.


What I set out to do with this book is make it a solid primer for quilters who are new to working with my rulers or patterns. It’s a good refresher for practiced and long-time quilters, too. So, I’m looking forward to sharing some good, foundational tips and techniques in this sew along.

This is a "choose your own adventure" sew along. I'll be making 6 projects throughout the sew along and you can make any of them that you like.

Here's a visual list of the projects that we'll be making and the order that we'll be making them in: 
Big or Small Triangles Pillow



Adult or Baby Cuddles Quilt


Rookie of the Year Quilt



Watch Me Grow Quilt

Color Wheel Quilt


Tummy Time All Star Quilt


All of the patterns in the book are made with the Super Sidekick ruler. All of the Kona Cotton Solid used in the quilts in the book are listed inside the book.

Sign up here to receive the sew along emails in your inbox each week. Emails will have the links to the video tutorial of the week, weekly giveaways and prizes, and discounts to quilt shops exclusively for sew along participants.

Toes in the Sand in Tula Pink Daydreamer: 10th Anniversary Edition

Toes in the Sand Block of the Month Quilt

This Block of the Month design features 12 unique blocks all created with the Hex N More Ruler. There are no pesky Y seams! Each month you'll create two blocks from the same design. Creative fabric placement will make the quilt appear to have 24 different blocks. All of the pieces are rotary cut from fabric strips and machine pieced. Toes in the Sand is a Twin size quilt, 64" x 84". You can also make a Queen size quilt, 97" x 96".

Quilting by Teresa Silva of Quilting is My Bliss
Quilt top pieced by Julie Kentner

Toes in the Sand was my first Block of the Month design. I released in 2012 and it was my love letter to California that I designed after moving across the country from Philadelphia to San Diego. While on maternity leave this spring I recolored the design using the latest Tula Pink fabrics and the 10th anniversary edition of the quilt came to be.

I updated the book with the new book cover shown above for its 10th anniversary. The 10th anniversary edition of the book also includes the following updates or additions: 

  1. New colors for the block directions. 
  2. An updated quilt top layout.  
  3. Bonus directions to make a Queen size quilt top.

If you already own a copy of the Toes in the Sand book and you'd like to download a PDF of the updated quilt top layout and the bonus directions to make a Queen size quilt top, fill out this form and you'll receive the PDF right away.

The 10th anniversary edition of the books will be shipping to shops this month. You might get an original copy or the updated version from your quilt shop.

This updated version of the quilt features all Tula Pink fabrics, including Tula Pink Solids, True Colors, Linework, and the highly anticipated Daydreamer to be released late 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will video tutorials be made available online for the blocks & the quilt?

Many of the Journey2Nebula lessons & tips are helpful for Toes in the Sand. Additionally, Julie will sew 1 block a month live in the  Jaybird Quilts Sew Alongs facebook group on the first Tuesday of each month. The live videos will be saved so group members can watch replays of it. The live videos will not be made public to view on other platforms, they will be exclusive to the facebook group.

 

Will there be a Jaybird Quilts Facebook Group for this BOM?

We recently launched the new Jaybird Quilts Sew Alongs facebook group. Julie will sew 1 block a month live in the  Jaybird Quilts Sew Alongs facebook group on the first Tuesday of each month. The live videos will be saved so group members can watch replays of it. The live videos will not be made public to view on other platforms, they will be exclusive to the facebook group. It is a private group and anyone is welcome to join when we have ongoing or upcoming sew alongs.


How do we know which fabrics to use in the blocks?

We'll send an email out once a month with the names of the fabrics used in the blocks for that month, and if you're making the Queen size quilt, how many of each block to make for your quilt top. Sign up for the email list here. We'll also have a monthly blog post and social media posts with the block fabrics for the month.


I have an original copy of the Toes in the Sand book. How do I get the updated pages of the 2022 version?

Add your email address here and you'll get a copy of the PDF with the updated pages right away.
