Meet Primrose - A New Jelly Roll Quilt Pattern!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


I am so thrilled to introduce a new quilt pattern with you called Primrose!  Primrose is a timeless 9-patch design that takes you back to a simpler time.  You will definitely find yourself coming back to this pattern again and again because it is so much fun to work with!

This is a quilt design that has everything you'd want in a pattern - multiple sizes, two piecing methods, and the opportunity to play around with your favorite fabrics!  The following images are mockups of Primrose in a variety of modern and classic fabric collections that I adore.  All of these mockups are made in the Throw size.

The Primrose quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Primrose - a design you'll love!


Primrose is a simple 2-1/2" Jelly Roll friendly pattern that offers two methods of assembly - Strip and Traditional Piecing.  Strip Piecing sews together strips of fabric which are then cut into segments and sewn together again.  This method requires using more background fabric in some of the size options.  Traditional Piecing is recommended for those seeking a relaxing and simple project sewing individual squares together.

I am excited to share that Connecting Threads has kitted the Sunnyside quilt pattern in the Baby size in their beautiful fabric collection called Play on Tonals.  This quilt kit includes all the fabric for the quilt top and binding, along with a printed quilt pattern so that you can create your very own Baby Sunnyside quilt!


Sunnyside is a quick and easy, Fat Quarter friendly design that includes six sizes - Baby, Throw, Large Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  Sunnyside is named after a town near where I grew up, and the quilt is reminiscent of both sunshine and gray skies.  I love the yellow and gray contrast in this quilt!  It's so bright and cheery!
