Jelly roll quilts are one of my favorite projects when I want something relaxing to work on. The coordinating fabrics do most of the work, and before long you’ll have a quilt top that looks like you spent a lot more time planning it than you actually did.

Whether this is your first jelly roll quilt or you ...

It's been so long since I've blogged!

But I have a few recent finishes and I want to record them here for my own future reference.  

First up is my Jelly Stars - I don't have a proper name for it yet, so I'll just refer to it by the pattern name for now.  

I’ve had this quilt in progress since last August. The jelly roll I found went nicely with a butterfly panel plucked from the rehome table at guild that I planned to cut apart. I thought it would be the perfect pairing for a Spotlight Pattern quilt. This quilt is available for purchase, skip to the end if you are interested.

I pulled some sets of strips and began sewing them together.

Then I cut the butterfly motifs apart. At this point, I realized that the butterflies would not trim to the size in the pattern. So, I set them ...

There’s something about woven fabric that just feels extra special—and this new quilt has completely stolen my heart.

A Quilt Made with Fableism Supply Co’s Charming Wovens

For months, each time I went into my LQS, Quilt Basket, I would buy a couple of half yards of some enchanting fabrics. I am absolutely smitten with them. I think most of them are from the Lucky Loom fabric line, but there are some from other lines as well. The colors are rich and dimensional, with the most incredible stripes and plaids woven right in. The purples, oranges, and ...

Are you looking for a new and exciting project to tackle? Do you find yourself staring at those perfectly coordinated jelly roll precuts… unsure where to even begin? Asking yourself: What can I make with one jelly roll? I get it!! That’s exactly why I am obsessed with designing jelly roll patterns. Yes, they look beautiful sitting on your shelves… but what if they were more?

Sparkle & Sizzle

 "If you’re after a fun showstopper of a quilt for a gift, this one is a perfect choice. Grab a jelly roll, pair it with a high contrast solid background fabric, and watch the magic happen!" - Make Modern Issue 65.

Of all the quilts I’ve created over the years, this Diamond Quilt Set remains one of my absolute favorites. It’s not just the end result that makes it special—though the clean and simple lines are undeniably beautiful—but the process of making it is what truly left its mark on me. This quilt was more than just a finish; it was a great learning point in my quilting journey and the reason why I love jelly roll quilts.

In this months Make Modern

Inspired by my Field of Flowers quilt from last year’s Great Jelly Roll Bash, this is Wind Echoes. I am totally into pinwheel quilts and have made many different types over the years.

One of my favorite parts of the drive to California is watching the wind turbines scattered across the landscape. These giant windmills spin slowly against layered mountains. They captivate me. It might be because my parents are from Holland, but I love all things windmill-ish and pinwheels are just mini windmills.

Vielleicht hast du letztes Jahr auf meinem und Paulas @paula_handmade Instagram Feed gesehen, dass wir ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt gemacht haben? Um uns gegenseitig zu einem Quilt zu motivieren, hat Paula damals vorgeschlagen, die Bright Zinnia Blocks aus dem Midnight Garden Quilt von Lorie Holt zu nähen. Jeden Montag haben wir einen Block fertig gehabt und ihn dann auf Insta gepostet.

Genau so ein Projekt wollen wir jetzt wieder zusammen machen - Sabrina von @zeitimgarten ist auch dabei! Und wenn du magst, dann häng dich doch dran :-) Es gibt keine Vorgaben, keine Regeln und kein "Muss"! Mach nach Lust und Laune mit. Du ...

In meinem letzten Newsletter habe ich geschrieben, dass ich mir ein neues Projekt für Jelly Rolls ausgesucht habe. Frische Jelly Rolls hatten mein Regal im Quiltbüro gefüllt und mich direkt 'aufgefordert', endlich mal wieder was mit denen zu machen. Kann man verstehen, wenn man das Bild sieht, oder?

Mein Projekt 'Sprinkles on Top' stammt aus dem Buch 'Jelly Filled' von Vanessa Goertzen (lellaboutique.com)

Ausgesucht habe ich mir dafür einen Graue - und eine Schwarze Jelly Roll aus meinem Sortiment. Für den Hintergrund sind in der ...

I first released the Fields of Flower quilt as part of the Great Jelly Roll Bash in 2024. I can’t believe it has already been six months! Jelly Roll Day falls on the third Saturday of September, and since I’m all about the quilting life, celebrating a quilting holiday makes perfect sense, I always throw a party for the occasion. But it just hit me—I haven’t shared Fields of Flower my row quilt on the blog yet!

One reason for the delay? This quilt is BIG. It wasn’t quilted initially, but that changed for QuiltCon ...
