I'm starting a new quilt for Covered In Love this week. I love bright colors, but have a big bin full of batiks, mostly jelly roll strips in muted colors. So I dug into them and decided to make blocks. I fold the strip into four and cut off the extra selvage, leaving 10 1/2 inches. With my scores I cut through the folded end and has four equal strips. No rotary cutting needed. Then I chain piece pairs of these strips.
The strips laid out look like a sample below.
I'm planning on about a 60 X 60 or longer top. At the rate this is going, it will probably be finished next week. My bin is now at least one-third empty and the top is looking good already.

It's beautiful, Paula! I love those colors. Great idea for a quick top! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Paula, I like your orange colour pops too, it gives it a great lift.
ReplyDeleteLove the pops of orange too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great approach for a quick new quilt!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely batiks, Paula! They'll make a beautiful, comforting quilt for CiL. I don't have many batiks, but the few times I've worked with them have been a real pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a stunning quilt!! I especially like the pops of orange that you've chosen to add.
