Has anyone made a quilt from this fabric
I have been eyeing the Moda Union Blues line since I first saw it. I really really like the colors https://www.fabric.com/find?collection=moda-union-blues
I am going to be off work all next week :) and so I ordered 3 jelly rolls and plan on having some fun. Now I only need inspiration as to what pattern to use. Do you guys have any suggestions? You guys and gals always have such good ideas! I do really like this one that was posted earlier this year http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...k-t264698.html I do really like the braid quilts, but not sure what color cornerstone would be best for these colors. Please let me know your thoughts Thank you |
Check out the Martingale Web Site www.shopmartingale.com then click on epattterns - they have their downloadable patterns on sale right now for $1.23. There are several by Kim Brackett and they are mostly using Jelly rolls (2.5" strips). She also has several books (they are also available by download for $16.99) that are made just for jelly rolls. I have a couple of her books and have made several things from there. While not all of her patterns in the books are also separate patterns, several are.

I really love that fabric! Love the color combinations in it and think it would make a beautiful Easy Jelly Roll quilt! It's amazing how much difference fabric can make--The pattern as Red Hot Flash is gorgeous but I like it in the Easy Jelly Roll post-the colors are very similar to the Union Blues. Keep us posted on what you do!

Super. I think that I may also have to place an order. Love blues. BrendaK

Barbara brackman is the designer for Union Blues. On her blog, she has several different patterns. Just google Barbara Brackman.
|
I too check out the designer blog or the fabric manufacturer's website for pattern ideas.

Thanks everyone! I will check those links... I have a few days to make a decision on what kind of fun I will have :)

No I haven't but it is pretty fabric.

I have the same fabric, but only 2 charm packs and a jelly roll. If you do a braid, to keep with the colors in the roll what about something in a gold or rich rust tone!! Have fun with your project!!

I fell in love with this fabric, too, while looking for fabric for my 92 yr old FIL....it wasn't widely available yet, so I had to substitute. This is the pattern I was going to make with that fabric tho....

I really like this Simply Woven Quilt using jelly rolls. It looks much more complicated than it is to make.
