I'm excited to share a new pattern with you today! Snack Time is another fun quilt that uses my Hex N More Ruler... and still no Y seams!
This pattern will be shipping to shops in just a couple of days! I'm in Portland at the moment teaching at Block Party with Quiltmaker. Today {Thursday} I'm teaching a Hex N More workshop. I'll be posting photos over on Instagram & Facebook if you want to see what we are up to!
Quilt Details
Fabric is Kona Solids by Robert Kaufman
Pattern - Snack Time, JBQ 131
Designed by me
Quilted by Angela Walters
Started on 2/3/13
Finished on 3/2/13
Quilt measures - 51" x 72"
Here is the back of the pattern. It features 5 size options.
I went back and forth when deciding on what fabric to use. In the end I decided to use Kona solids by Robert Kaufman. Specifically I used the Kona Brights Roll Up.
I backed the quilt in white Kona fabric and bound it in white bias binding.
Ready to see some of the cover shoot outtakes?
I loved the clouds and the lighting on the quilt, but the fence just wasn't tall enough to see more of the quilt.
More clouds... lets go inside before it rains!
More detail. I could stare at Angela's quilting for hours... oh wait I do!!
Last one on the fence. I ended up using this photo on the back of the pattern.
This half door didn't do much...
...and neither did these steps.
I did like these steps and almost used this one on the cover.
More detail. This photo really shows how Angela did loops, swirls, and two different flowers in the center of the blocks. She did 9 different designs in the 9 rows.
I love the lighting in this last photo.
So out of curiosity... What is your favorite snack?

Fun and darling quilt! I'm just getting ready to start a quilt with the hex'n more ruler. I'm excited to use it... now I have to choose which of your cute pattern ideas to use. You just made it more difficult! ;)
Very cute! I like that you used a "roll up" without it looking like a typical jellyroll quilt.
Yum! I love this (and more reasons to use this ruler!!!!!!!!) It goes well with anything CHOCOLATE!
love this one Julie! -Al
I LOVE this one! This may force my hand to finally get the ruler. :)
Snacks... Vanilla yogurt and homemade granola, BBQ Lays, Honey roasted peanuts and Granola bars.
Another winner! Such a happy quilt in these primary colors. As for me I love anything Carmel/butterscotch.
Trail mix! Your quilt is beautiful ; )
I love this quilt! my fave snack is Kitchen Cooked potato chips.
Unfortunately my favourite snack is not carrots... Instead I love chocolate chip cookies- yum!!!
What a GREAT QUILT!!!! Can't wait to order patterns for our shop.
My favorite 'snack' is PB2 (powdered peanuts you mix up for a very healthy peanut butter) and slices of Granny Smith Apple (must be Granny...always! lol). Enjoy Portland!
Love this! My fav snack is gummy bears!
This is a wonderful quilt!!! It reminds me of lifesavers or fruitloops - what fun!!!
I think this might be my favorite (so far) quilt you have designed with the hex-n-more ruler.
My fav snack: mixed nuts.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
I'm munching on peanut butter filled pretzel bites at the minute.
I'm so excited to see another pattern that uses my favorite ruler! My favorite snack has to be peanut M&M's.
What a beautiful quilt! And I agree with a previous post, it reminds me of lifesavers also. My favorite snack is macadamia nuts.
Wow! Reminds me of Fruit Loops. :) Luv to scoop up my cottage cheese with Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles.
I love this one! And I'd have to say your good basic chocolate chip cookie does it for me! Especially warm from the oven...
You never fail to amaze me! Now I'm going to have to make this one too! I love Angela's quilting on it too. So beautiful! Chocolate is my favorite snack for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Love it!
My favorite snack of late is either Boom Chicka Pop pop corn OR chocolate teddy grahms.
Thanks for highlighting Angela's quilting. It made me focus in on those parts. Just beautiful.
I love this pattern and I have a roll up of the same fabric. My favourite snack is cheddar chips. I consider chocolate to be a staple not a snack!
Great pattern! I love the rainbow of prettyness. My fav snack is plain milk chocolate m&m's.
The sweeter the snack the better...my usual is Swedish fish but gummy bears and Twizzlers are good too :-)
Love this quilt! I'm going to pull fabrics for this soon. Probably using a combination of prints and solids. Hubby's grandmom is going through some health issues and I think she would love this pattern!
Cookies, cookies, cookies!
I love this quilt, especially with the transparency effect you got with the two tones in each hexie. Fabulous!
I literally just ordered the pattern yesterday and the hex "ruler" that you created as an early birthday present for myself. It already shipped and I should be getting it friday! I'm so excited!
I love this design and definitely want to learn to create it with your cool hex ruler. Of course, it would even be more fun to take a class
with you.....anywhere!

Favorite snack is tea and cookies.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! I just 'pinned' it.
I just finished my Snack Time quilt and it is getting raves. It was much easier to piece than I though it might be. Thanks for the great pattern!
