Summer Breeze by Moda - jelly roll, layer cake, charm packs x 2, white & blue yardage
 
I have bought all this material in hopes of creating something beautiful for my newly married daughter's spare room bed - it is a double. I bought a book called jelly rolls, layer cake etc but didn't find quite what I was looking for. Has anyone have any ideas? I am an intermediate quilter. Thanks in advance.

It's hard to choose a pattern without knowing how many fabrics, how much of light, middle & dark value prints you have, how much of the accent print, etc.

If the mix is balanced, a log cabin is a good choice - they always look like they're "more" than they are, if you know what I mean. :) It's a traditional pattern, but looks fresh and new when you use modern prints or it can look old-fashioned and cozy when you use vintage-look prints.

Use the charms cut once into 2½" strips for the shorter "logs," the layer cake cut three times into 2½" wide strips for the medium-length logs, then the jelly rolls for the rest of the logs. Cut some of the coordinating yardage into strips, then use the rest for borders and four pillowcases. :)

Eleanor Burns has a book called "Orion's Star" - the block is a log cabin with a variable star in the center. Pretty easy, but looks intricate when it's done. :)

Have fun!

Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett. I want to make just about every quilt in the book.
Also check the Missouri Star tutorials.

I LOVE that book! That would be a good one for a large mix of fabrics like this - it's bound to have something that will work! :thumbup:

I just ordered the jelly roll and charm pack of that fabric and I am going to do a potato chip quilt with it. I think it's going to turn out quite pretty.

The Jelly Roll Magic book might have something for you. Here's a link to it on Amazon:

Here's a pattern I developed for a swap group. It uses layer cakes, charms and strips along with a little yardage. You can add additional blocks to make a queen or king size. Overlook the colors, I like to draft patterns with a lot of color and contrast.

I like the patterns in the strip therapy books, but the books are quite expensive

Thank you so much Cat for this pattern - I love squares and this will really show off the beautiful designs in the Summer Breeze by Moda fabric. I am really excited to make your quilt design. I will post a picture when it is completed.
