I started a new quilt the other day, this one will be for my youngest daughter, Olivia (14). She picked out the fabric choice from my growing collection of jelly rolls. The pattern is called "Garden Trellis" and is from the Jelly Roll Quilts book, and the fabric is called "Aviary" from Moda.

The pattern calls for 20 strips each of light and dark fabrics. This particular collection of fabrics has like 24 "darks" and 16 "lights", so I pulled out 4 of the darks (I pulled 4 solids), and replaced them with some yardage of light small print fabric from the Aviary line. So that fabric will appear a little more in the quilt top, but I thought the small print wouldn't make that as noticeable. Also, I'm using that same fabric for the border and backing as well. I also plan to use one of the green fabrics to create an inner 2" border and have the outer border be 4" instead of the stated 6" in the book. The binding will be in the same soft green color. I wanted to use the green for the binding and inner border to play up the greens a little more and soften down the pinks some. I hope it works. I need to square up the blocks and start stiching them together now.

Well, enough of my yammering, here are the pics:

Wow you are a great daddy! Another beautiful quilt. You really have an eye for color. She will love it I am sure. If not I will email you my address. LOL. :D

Oh My Goodness Eddie


I love your work - your ldaughter is going to love this quilt too - if not let me know & I'll PM you my address LOL.
I was recently at a Quilt Show here in the UK & saw a similar quilt that one of the stall holders had made up using Aviary like yours it was stunning.
I was tempted to buy the kit but I had already bought 2 Jelly Rolls - can't wait to see it finished with the borders on. :wink:
