Each Block in Grandma's Kitchen will be a memory or event. We started block #1 as the 'heart of the Kitchen' That is where everything happens for so many grandma's. Like when I did the Solstice Challenge, often the block name is something I thought about this week. This is very much a journal for me, and It's so much fun to have everyone joining!
This week I was reminded of a special breakfast roll, that we would eat at anytime, the Sticky bun. I'm not sure if all the world has these, but they are one of my fondest memories!
So of course I had to find a Sticky bun recipe! I love the people at Pinch of Yum, they added apples, which I think sounds fantastic!
So tell me.. do you have a favorite breakfast item from childhood?
Maybe something your grandma made or gave you.. that was extra special?
Leave me a comment I'd love to hear and when you share your block in my Facebook Group, tell me the story about it. I don't care what fabric you used or if you made a 'mistake'.. I really want to learn about you!
Visit Pinch of Yum for the recipe
I included in the pattern this week a bonus layout of the block in repeat with sashing.. i love love love how it looks!
BEST part is that it's strips. Two sizes of strips. You can use up left over jelly rolls, parts of layer cakes and Jolly bars!
Really anything that can be cut into strips!
My best tip is to use these design boards to keep track when sewing. They come in 18" and 10"
It's SO EASY switch a piece and not realize it.. and we don't want any more dates with Jack 'the ripper' than are necessary!

Some information on the fabrics that I am using, as this project is not designed for you to have detailed placement to match mine. If you prefer exact fabric placement to a supply list, that is what my books provide.
- I am starting with a FQ Bundle of 40 FQ, a 1 yd piece of silver check and a 1yd piece of green stripe, and 3 yds of a white (see here)
- That fabric will NOT all be in the quilt.
- I will show the block I made, but I can't promise it will be on release day all the time. Sometimes I might not get mine made until a few days later, but I'm trying to do on release day
- There will be a layout pattern, but I've not designed it yet
- Breath, use fabric you love, have fun!
