I'm making this one for my sister, who loves navy and pink. I'm aiming to make a quilt for each of my 5 sisters this year, though some of them are being very indecisive about it, so I might not make my self-imposed deadline :)
I wanted to maximize my Gooseberry Jelly Roll (by Lella Boutique), and doing 12" blocks as the original pattern directs leaves quite a bit of jelly strip left over. So, I cut all the strips in half (approx. 21") and used 4 prints and 4 whites for each block, which gives you a 16" finished block. With one jelly roll and 3 yds of background yardage, you can get a 4 by 5 block quilt, which comes to 64" by 80", a very decent throw size, or it could squeak by as a twin.
I think I actually like the 8 by 8 blocks better than the originals, as it makes the pattern slightly less busy. I hope that answers most questions about this quilt! It is one of my very favorites and I can't wait to gift it.
It's just wonderful! I have wanted to make a scrappy quilt for quite awhile. I have the jelly roll already. I just get bogged down with something else. Your quilt is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! I just looked at your blog profile and you aren't too far from me. I live in Mather, just east of Sac. We want to move to a small town when we buy a house. I bet your area is just beautiful!
DeleteOh awesome! Thanks for posting this, I'm so excited to do this. I need a good picnic blanket!
