Description:

Green Tea and Sweet Beans is named after the green tea and sweet bean desserts of Japan, which Jen got to sample while she visited the country and the Japanese exchange student who stayed with them for twelve months. Most of the blocks were made in Japan, and Jen sees this quilt as the one that really started her journey for her. Sue Spargo saw the quilt hanging in Jen's store and encouraged her to write patterns after seeing it. As a result of that conversation, this quilt ended up being one of the first commercial patterns that Jen made.

About the Quilt: "The quilt that started it all. Green Tea and Sweet Beans was Jen’s first block of the month program and inspired her to chase her dreams as a quilt designer. A puzzle of beautiful blocks, a signature style of Jen’s!"
