New project in the works
I am working on a new project that I am very excited about. I discovered Missouri Star Quilting Co recently and am just loving their video tutorials and FABULOUS selection of fabrics. I have been watching tutorials on "jelly roll" quilts. A jelly roll is a bundle of fabrics in 2 1/2" x 40" strips of cloth from one designers line. My favorite so far is Moda designs because of the variety of print and color. I am attempting a "strip" quilt and have placed the blocks randomly to see how I want to put it together. I love the colors and the brightness of this quilt and it's definitely stretching my limits. I tend to stick to traditional designs and very basic colors but am loving the look of this. What do you think?
Project in progress
Hi all,
Attached is a project I am working on. I discovered Missouri Star Quilting Co website -- wonderful video tutorials and absolutely FABULOUS material for quilting. I watched a tutuorial about how to use "jelly rolls" which is a bundle of fabric strips 2 1/2" wide and 40 " long. They are all from one line -- Moda is my favorite -- and different themes to each one. There are many types of quilts to make from one bundle and one of them is "strip" quilting which I am attempting. I just love the colors and I am really stretching outside of my comfort zone with this one. I usually am pretty traditional with colors and design so to leap outside of the box is a challenge for me. I have placed these squares in a random design but haven't sewed together yet. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
