Ideas, please, for 5"xWOF strips
I got a Secret Sister gift from the Fat Quarter Shop - a bundle of 27 strips of 5"xWOF fabric.
While the obvious thing might be to cut each strip into (two) 2 1/2" strips, or into 5" (nickle) squares: DOES ANYONE HAVE SOME IDEAS OR LEADS TO FREE PATTERNS? There are patterns for jelly rolls, turnovers, etc. - are there books for this precut? I am soooo overthinking this and find myself mentally log-jammed .... Thanks! |
1 - you could do a jelly roll race (1600") type quilt.
2- check out ModaBakeShop.com - these cuts are called Dessert Rolls. Check under Bakery to see this cut, they have a link to patterns using that size. 3- be sure to show us what you do! Good luck. |
oh, looked at the ModaBakeShop patterns, not much for that size - sorry
but, then reading some more thread here on QB, wandered over to Quilters World magazine site. Check out the current issue page, under creative pieces, running stripes - that would be a simple thing to do with your pieces - don't really even need the pattern. sort of like a stacked coins |
3 DUDES QUILTING has a free pattern called Majestic Mountains. They use 2 1/2" strips, but you can use any size you want and end up with bigger blocks. Also Missouri Star Quilt Shop (Jenny Doan) also used 3 Dudes Quilt pattern making her's bigger. Your ending squares will be larger, but who cares. It is a really cool pattern.

Congratulations! No suggestions, but have fun!

There is a book I found from my local library, Two From One Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott.
I would check your local library, also most quilt guilds have their own personal library. |
Check out Missouri Star Quilt Company on Utube. Jenny shows how to make pinwheels from 5" Squares. I made one it was fun to do and easy.

You could do a nine patch. Sew three rows together and then cut them into blocks. It's fast this way. Or what about the turning 20 quilt.
