For those of you who have been following along, you have already been introduced to our new brand Planted Seed Designs 2 or PSD2! If you're new around here (welcome, we're thrilled you're here!) you can read all about it HERE.

With PSD2 I have a collection of patterns that were designed specifically for my adult sons and their individual styles. Because each of my sons are very different in personality, their individual quilt designs ended up looking VERY different. This means that...
