Design Used: I did not use a pattern for this quilt. I just took a jelly roll ( 2.5” wide strips) and sewed the strips into sets of 3. Then I cut the strip sets in 6.5” x 6.5” blocks and alternated the alignment of them.
Finished Size: 56” x 60”
Fabric Collection: Parakeet by Kaffe Fasset
Cuts Used: 1.5 jelly roll plus, yardage for inner border, binding, binding flange, and backing.
Pantograph Pattern: Crazy Eights from Urban Elementz
Skill Level: Intermediate thru Advanced
Design Tips: Recommend non-directional prints.
Note: Although a lot of people recommend jelly roll patterns for beginners, I don’t think they are a great place to start. Pinked edges are difficult to work with and if your ¼” is not perfect, your strip sets won’t turn out right and you will waste a lot of fabric. Trust me…I know from experience!
