Due to a series of fortunate events, I made this quilt:
Here’s how it happened. You may recall that C&T sends me quilt books and products to review, and if I really like them I write about them here. So a while back I received this book:

Then a couple of weeks later, I entered a contest sponsored by Pineapple Fabrics and my project was a runner up. They sent a wonderful box of pre-cuts, including a jelly roll. So the only question was which quilt to make! The book had many attractive options, including these:

I eventually chose the lattice quilt because it looked so do-able. And it was! The instructions even suggested designing your own spacing for the border, and you know how I like doing my own thing, so that was great.
Here’s a picture of the pretty flowers quilted on it by Julia Madison:
If you are thinking of making this quilt, know that it was fast, easy, and fun. I did flip some of the seams when joining the pieces so the seams would match up well at the intersections.

What a gorgeous design! Love the colors you used. And how great is it that you get to review quilting books?! Sounds like an enviable “job” to me. 🙂 I’ve never bought a jelly roll, but am certainly not averse to cutting fabric strips from yardage so as to make something as striking as this. Well done!
Thanks, Linda 🙂
Lovely fresh design. Can see you had fun making it, and congrats on the prize
Thanks. The book had several fun projects and it was hard to choose 🙂
What a fabulous story! Love the quilt and the story that comes with it!
Thanks!
A very contemporary look! And using those jelly roll fabrics makes it easier to achieve I’m thinking? That and your choice of background fabric.
Now for those 3 inch strippy scraps!!! HA!
Didn’t I reply to this? I don’t think my computers are talking to each other! I’m glad you and I are talking, anyway! Have a good week!
Yes, even the scrappy quilts make scraps! 😀
I have so much trouble deciding which of the quilts from your blog to make next. I haven’t finished Plaidish yet, but someone just donated a huge box of fabrics to me, and I am thinking a lot of those fabrics would look cute in this quilt. I can’t keep up!!! 🙂
I can’t catch up with the quilts I want to make either, and really, I hope I still have plans to make more when I die.
