February 2008 Challenge: Jelly Rolls! (Page 3)

This is pieced in strip sets of four strips graduating from dark to light, cut into blocks, and then cut into half square triangles. Note that each finished light/ dark square is a mirror image of the one beside it.

This is made of strip sets of 2 strips, one light and one dark and then pieced as a half log cabin.

I have begun adding jelly rolls to my stash and enjoyed designing quilt ideas with them in mind!

There are two designs for your to enjoy!
Enjoy!

This quilt represents the traditional layout for this block which creates braids in columns. I wanted to try and represent the braid block in the layout and have plans to make a similar braid quilt with one of my jelly rolls.

If I were to make this quilt using jelly roll fabrics, I would sew a braid block like the one on Quilters Cache.

Enjoy!

I divided my block into 2 inch segments in order to use the full 2 /12 inches of the jelly roll. It looked too plain so I added some 1/2 square to the mix.

I use an "Easy Angle" by Sharon Hultgren to make 2" Finished Half-Square Triangles from 2-1/2" fabric strips.

I have a Jelly Roll that I have been try to come up with something to with it. Maybe this is it. Do not know if I would have enough for the striped border.

I drafted up an "Easier Lonestar" pattern for some online friends. Since this one is made with HSTs rather than diamonds, it is easy to make and perfect for a jelly roll :D

I started with the other quilt and just "waved the wand" to randomize the coloring of that quilt. The lights swapped with the darks and produced this unusual coloring that I NEVER would have selected, but I will seriously consider making this quilt. What fun, EQ6!

I love the woven look of the chains. I chose yellows and purples, which remind me my pansies, and the black background is the winter dreariness. The pansies are just waiting for the spring thaw, and their color bursts through the darkness!

Ridgefield, NJ

Square On Point layout set with pattern of 8" Rail Fence and Tulip blocks with Clay's Choice blocks interspersed around center Crown of Thorns block.
The fabric colors dictate the secondary patterns that emerge so would want to be mindful of that when replacing the solid placeholders with Jelly Roll fabrics.
Blocks constructed of four 2" strips border the quilt center.

This rectangular Horizontal layout of 8" blocks constructed of 2" strips uses the same color palette as the first quilt but produces quite a different effect.

Geometric islands "floating" on a "watery print" background. All pieces cut from 2.5" fabric strips.

Finished size 48.5" square.

Two and a half inches as limit is a very nice challenge!
After "hard work", I arranged my project with only two (!!) stripped blocks and a flower motif from EQ library, in a horizontal lay-out. And it became a very easy to do project.
