Jelly Roll Bargello quilt

Recently when I was sorting thru my batiks for the last Blog hop for this year’s ambassadors (Blog hop in January) I realized I had put a pack of 2 1/2” strips and matching yardage in the same box that I didn’t touch since I pretty much got the fabrics this summer.

This fabric line is called Lavendula by Island Batik

at the same time I saw a pattern by Annie’s called “I used to be a layer cake” and the notes said you can also use a jelly roll! and it’s a BARGELLO quilt!

So of course I got the pattern (I get it from Annie’s as an affiliate)

and I went to work!

Now the 2 1/2” strip set I had, has 2 of each fabric of 20 fabrics, so it was easy to keep track of and I sewed them together how they were in the pack!

After sewing them together and sub-cutting after the directions, I laid out the strips, it was at this point that I realized that it was NOT mirror imaged in the pattern, but I really liked the look of it, so I kept going Winking smile

(what’s on the floor goes in the middle, but I ran out of space)

Here is what it looked like after I sewed 2 sections together across

and sections of 4

and 8 sections

I quilted feathers and swirls all over it and added a dark purple binding

I liked it so much I hung it in our dining room!

It’s definitely a pattern I’ll try again with a layer cake or jelly roll!
