Struggling to find the right pattern for jelly rolls
I have 5 jelly rolls, all alike. I love the fabrics, but there really isn't much contrast in the colors. The problem is finding a basic pattern that will work. I've already tried a log cabin and that didn't work. Tried a paper pieced chevron and while it looked ok, it was way too many little pieces. The only other I've seen may be a french braid. Does anyone else have a good pattern you use for jelly rolls? I want to make 2 twin size quilts and could add a basic coordinating color if necessary. Thanks in advance, Rose

Can you post a picture of the jelly roll? I am visual and it helps to seen them laid out and then pick a pattern.

I love this pattern! On my "to do" list http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/10/...ven-quilt.html

Name of the pattern is Sugar Almonds by an Australian quilter and blogger. I made one, it is really pretty and the pattern is free. Here is the link for her tutorial http://www.sameliasmum.com/2012/07/s...1#.UgMasmS9Kc0
If the link does not work, just google Sugar Almond Quilt. Good luck! |
check out the pattern. Sweet Menagerie nine patch at moda bakeshop. I made this one once and used a dark background instead of white, turned out great
wish I could post the link for you, sorry, not sure how to get it to work |
You might see something you like here. Also, you might consider tossing in different fabrics to add to the contrast. Just a thought.

I would really need to see the colors.

Sugar Almond pattern is nice, or perhaps even a jelly roll race with some added fabrics for more spark-?
Moda does also have quite a selection of great patterns~ :) |
