Lime And Soda Jelly Roll Quilt

If you find choosing fabrics difficult then this is the quilt for you. You just need to buy a black and white jelly roll (Jo has these ready in the shop for you), some white background fabric and then you choose the added background colour. We chose lime but we have seen this quilt made up using many different colours – pink, aqua, blue - and all look great and quite different. The quilt is basically a nine patch block which is then re-cut to make these blocks. A fun technique which looks complex but is really quite simple. SUITABLE FOR CONFIDENT BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATE QUILTERS REQUIREMENTS Sewing machine with full bobbin Normal sewing kit Rotary cutting equipment Fabric requirements for the Lime & Soda quilt (62in x 62in): one black and white jelly roll (or 40 2½in x 42in strips) 1.25m white background fabric (Fabric A) 1.25m your chosen colour background fabric – lime in our quilt (Fabric B) 0.5m binding fabric (not needed on day) Getting ahead before class: I know many will want to cut some background fabric before class as it does save time. This is not essential and if you would prefer to cut the background fabric on the day that is fine. If you would like to cut before class then these are the cutting instructions for both Fabric A and B background fabrics. Fabric A and Fabric B – Cut the same from each Cut three 6½in strips across the width of fabric and cut these into sixteen 6½in squares.
