I’m ecstatic that I’ve finally sashed this quilt and it has a home with my Mom! This is one of my absolute favorite quilts and certainly most ambitious, each block consists of 72 pieces not including the pieced sashing but it’s so worth it!
In fact I love it so much, I may actually make another setting the blocks on point.
Pattern: Parcheesie by April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass Patterns.
Size: 71″ x 71″ This is not the finished pattern size, I didn’t have enough fabric for the border and it is now somewhat rare to find.
Fabric: Flora by Laruen + Jessi Jung & Kona White
Backing Fabric: Birds & Berries by Lauren + Jessi Jung
Binding: Kona Maise
Because I love this pattern so much I didn’t want to distract from it by using a quilting pattern so I simply stitched in the ditch using Superioir Threads Kimono Silk. I used Sharon Schambers’ You Tube tutorial for binding.
If you’re looking for a challenge, I encourage you to try this pattern, satisfaction guaranteed! Purchase the pattern here: Prairie Grass Patterns.
I’m going to continue binding my Modern Mabel quilt today, happy Friday and have a great weekend and Thank Goodness It’s Finished Friday!!
Beautiful quilt!!!
Thank you so much Michele!
Great quilt..and beautiful piecing on this one! Love it!
Thank you Flo! I wish I’d starched my fabrics before cutting but I’ll do that next time. ;D Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Your quilt is stunning!
Thank you Deborah!
Such a great pattern! Very pretty quilt!
Thank you Lucy, I agree, that pattern is gorgeous!
FANTASTIC, Tabatha! The colours and fabric are so cheerful and fun. Way to go!
Thanks M-R but I can’t take credit for the colours, they’re from the Flora line by Lauren + Jessi Jung, their prints are perfect for this pattern because they’re so small and detailed. I hope to get more Birds & Berries before it’s all gone! ;D
It’s gorgeous! Such teeny weeny centres

LOL, yeah I know Avis, but they weren’t that difficult to make because the strip sets were only 18″ long, much easier than sewing a 42″ straight seam!
Great quilt! I love the colors in the fabric line you chose. It really works well with that pattern. Nicely quilted too, just right,
Thanks P! I’m glad you agree with the simple quilting too, I find heavily quilted quilts just aren’t as snuggly and soft.
Love this! Very fun design, pretty fabrics. Great job.
Thanks so much Lynette, I love it too and am glad it’s staying in the family!
Your quilt is gorgeous. I love the pattern.
Thank you Dresden Quilter, I love your blocks and quilts, I think I’m headed in that direction and will no doubt be checking your website for inspiration!
What a great pattern and you’ve selected such lovely colours. I’m sure your Mum loves it! It would look great with the blocks set on point
Thanks so much Gemma! I love your flying geese and the way you echoed them in your quilting, brilliant!
This must have taken FOREVER! It’s gorgeous
It took two days to cut the fabric, after that the sewing seemed to fly by, probably because I loved the pattern and the fabric!
This is beautiful and your color choices are very lovely!
Thank you so much Donna, I adore this quilt as well, my Mom should receive it by Tuesday!
