quilting jem, I don't have any advice for you, just wanted to say how pretty your fabrics are. Good luck with picking out a pattern. My next one is this one: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/10/...html#more-1152 |
Here's what I think - you picked the best of the best in your choice of patterns - you'll hit a home run on any of them. BUT, what disappoints me is that Santa got the wrong address - weren't these fabrics suppose to come to ME?????
|
I absolutely love anything from the French General lines and I like your second choice too. It will really showcase that fabric.......
|
I have a tendency to buy more fabric than I really need especially if it's on sale. Guess that's why DH keeps asking when I'm going to open up shop. I just show him some of everyone else's stash. Shuts him up for awhile!
|
I buy fabric. Then when I find a pattern I can grab from my stash. My stash is a lot bigger than my husband thinks it should be but, if you don't buy when you see, it won't be available for long. At least that is my theory.

i did the same thing--and my plan is to use maureen mc cracknell's "herringbone" qayg pattern, here: http://www.maureencracknellhandmade....-tutorial.html
i fell in love with the fabric line, and missed out on one of the kits i'd wanted to get, so the jelly roll approach gave me the chance to get all of the fabric into a quilt, anyways. |
Kim Brackett...I have two of her books that uses jelly rolls. She has great patterns and easy to follow instructions.
|
I like the 2nd one.
|
I love 2 and 3 but think 2 will do your fabric more honor!
|
My favorite pattern for strips is the Bento Box. Here is one I made as a wedding gift. Because the fabrics were similar in 'value', I alternated them with white. However, with your jelly rolls, you could alternate the lights and darks and get the same effect without adding white.
