At the end of the year, I was sorting thru my Island Batik Ambassador box and I found an unused jelly roll pack with matching yardage!
So I busted out my Strip therapy book. I love this book and have several projects bookmarked.
I picked this pattern called insomnia and the jelly roll pack is called Mountain Majesty
after cutting all the pieces I decided to NOT scramble them up, but instead to do more of a planned layout.
So I matched up 4 fabrics per block section.
-and I also decided to make it a bit smaller than the pattern.
Then I made the blocks and laid out a layout on my design wall
and sewed it goether
Then with the yardage that matched I planned what I’d use for backing and binding and then however much I had left I could use for borders
The top ended up being 38”x46”
so that’s waiting to be quilted now
Yay! You have a top done already and with hidden fabric you found. That had to be so much fun!
Beautiful quilt Bea, love the colors in that collection!
I like how you arranged it your way! I am going to use up one of their jelly rolls too this week, not waiting for a monthly challenge-the IB stash is growing and I should use some up. Not complaining though, it's great!! I hope we hear soon if we got in for 2018.
Wow! Island Batik fabrics are just too gorgeous and your quilt is stunning. Great beginning to 2018. <3
Gosh, that is beautiful Bea, lovely quilt. Love the layout idea to.
