When Aaron was little, he sang a little song: "Peanut, peanut butter and jelly, jelly," and he always whispered the "jelly" part. I thought it was so cute and made him do it over and over.
I joined Moda Blockheads 4 this year. I have never done a Moda Blockheads sewalong before, where a new block pattern is released each week, each by a different designer. I had a stack of fabrics that was just waiting to be used so I thought this might be fun, if only I could keep up. I named it Peanut Butter and Jelly, and thought of Aaron the whole time I was making it :)
I did a good job of staying on track throughout the whole sewalong, kind of remarkable for me!
The blocks were 9" finished, and I completed all 42 of them. There were several setting options but I opted for just sewing the blocks together without any kind of sashing.
As usual, Darby did a great job on the quilting.
When we were in San Luis Obispo (central coast of California) in early November, I had brought the quilt along just in case a photo op popped up. The bricks in this building seemed like the perfect place to photograph.

You know, I think I can hear Aaron singing the song in my own mind (but in my brother's voice, as I'm positive he knew the same song). The colorway is perfect for a PB&J quilt, and congratulations on the lovely finish!
Great name and it’s beautiful.
That little ditty is from something the kids used to watch, I'm pretty sure. Maybe on nickelodeon? Your PB&J quilt is awesome Cindy. I'm never a fan of those kinds of QALs, but your fabric choices brought this one together really well.
Inspiring. Love your colors. Kudos to you for getting it done. Wow.
Congratulations on this wonderful quilt. The title and the song are wonderful and the fabrics work so well. Lovely photo of the finished quilt. I admire your ability to keep on track with this. I fear mine would have become a UFO!
Congrats on not only keeping up but actually finishing. It's beautiful. I really love the colors and fabrics. It's such a lovely look. These types of softer colors are certainly growing on me.
