Threadneedle Street I named this free pattern Threadneedle Street for for an ancient London road, home to the tailors' guild for centuries. It's in the financial district today. You have a roll of 2-1/2" strips A Moda JellyRoll of Morris Earthly Paradise: Cut the strips into parallelograms by cutting them with a 60 degree ruler every 7-1/2". Flip half of them. Combine them with a Jelly Roll of Moda Bella Solids, say Snow White. Junior Jelly Roll of Snow Cut them the same way Alternate till you run out of fabric. My inspiration A snapshot of a 1930s quilt seen at the FFA & Ag Museum in Iowa. I do not believe I have ever noticed this pattern before. At first I thought it was a braid design. A diagram for a braid pattern with 90 degree angles. It's sort of like a braid but the angles have to be 60 degrees---not 90 degrees. A tessellation---and perfect for JellyRolls. UPDATE: Astute commenters noted how hard this would be to sew---it's all set-in seams, which is probably why the pattern is rarely seen. How could it be modified to make it possible to do it with straight seam on a machine? Add seams. Well you could make it all diamonds. Or some diamonds. But I think it was a hand-sewing project.

10 Fabric Jelly Roll Projects to Get Your Creative Juices Flowing I love jelly rolls - both the food and the fabric varieties, but in this case I'm referring to the fabric version. Jelly rolls were created by a company called Moda. Other companies create them too, but you will find that they won't call them jelly rolls since that name belongs to Moda. Either way, jelly rolls are simply strips of pre-cut 2½' x 42' bits of fabric and you usually get around 40 strips in the pack. Pre-cut means that you don't have to sit there slicing up

Several years ago I received a jelly roll of Kaffe Fassett brights. I looked for just the right quilt pattern and finally found it at the Phoenix Expo. Their quilt looked very much like this one. The pattern is "Strip Stacks" by G.E. Designs. The quilt is easy and quick to make. I used multi-color thread to meander on the bright fabric and black on the black-on-black fabrics. The backing is also a black-on-black. I really like this quilt. It will probably be a Christmas gift.

(Edited to add: see the finished quilts HERE) Back in January I cut my string scraps that were less than 2.5" down to a uniform width of 1.5". Since then they've been aging in a couple of large ziploc bags. This weekend I decided the time had come to do something with those scraps! As many scrap quilts have made I remain amazed by how many quilts can hide in a scrap bin. Scraps are irresistible to me. Much more so than yardage. I had an idea in my head for what I wanted to do with these strings and I decided to photograph the process for a tutorial. I started by sorting out the cool colors, which probably constituted half of the strings. (I *might* have a problem with the color blue... the "warms" pile was pitiful by comparison.) I sewed the strings together at their short ends to make one looooooong string. Locate both loose ends, put them rights sides together, and start sewing down one long side toward the middle. When you reach the middle it will probably be all twisty. Cut it and complete sewing the two strips together. Press your string pair, then repeat the process. Find both loose ends and start sewing your pairs into a four. Press and repeat, sewing your 4-string string into an 8-string. This takes a long time if you started with a lot of string like I did. The bright side is that every time you fold it in half and sew, it ends up half as long, so as you go it gets easier. Keep going until you have a long panel 16 strings wide. I considered stopping at this point and just making a quilt top out of horizontal strings, but I decided to continue with my original plan. I sub cut the panel into squares, each 16.5" square. I put these up on the design wall alternating directions, this would make a cool quilt, too. Then I did the same process with my neutral colored strings. I took the neutral and cool colored squares and turned them into HSTs. I marked the line with a sharpie and pinned the blocks so they didn't shift while I sewed on either side of the line. If you put the squares together with their strips running the same way, then in the HST they will turn. If you put them together with their strips perpendicular then in the HST they will run the same direction. I chose the first method so the two different colors run at different angles. With my blocks turned into HSTs the options are limitless... Any layout that can be made with HSTs. I haven't sewn these together yet, still auditioning layouts to find my favorite. Which do you like best? Linking to Oh Scrap!

I showed you a companion quilt to this one a while back. I finally was able to take a photo of this one for you. The difference between them is I took everything that included gold and fall colors and used them in this one. The other quilt uses blues, purples, reds etc. This quilt is just slightly smaller than the other. This one is called Amish Shadows 2. It is 46 x 56 inches. It is impressive hung on a wall. By using so many different colors in a quilt it makes it adaptable to any decor, much like a fine painting. In case you missed Amish Shadows 1 I'm sharing it again. It is 49 x 79 inches. The blocks in each quilt are exactly the same size. It also is spectacular hung in any decor. These quilts are also very appropriate in dimly lit areas as they glow from within. My color choices are what makes this work, much like antique Amish quilts. I LOVE this design and you will see more of them soon. I'm also sharing Amish Shadows 2 as my puzzle tonight. I haven't posted a puzzle with each and every quilt recently. I miss doing the puzzles and hope to incude one with each post.

📷 Holy cow, I like this one from Pinterest (Russian sewist). Do you save photos of quilts you'd like to try? This one would be great for reducing my scrap bin overflow. 95% of my scraps are 2.5" wide strips. Smaller strips I give to my friend Jerry, the rug guy. This Russian artist's quilt I like the variety of color and pattern, "fits me to a T". (Where did that expression come from, I'd like to know). The Light and dark cornerstones are deliberate--and that is something that peaks my interest. I especially like the skinny sashing, even though its medium to light value is almost LOST. 📷 Above, is one of my quilts. Simple, fun to make. Designing quilts on the fly . . . my design idea here was to join Four (10.5") scrappy strip blocks with a light color sashing and orange corner stone. I couldn't decided in the first place if I wanted orange corner stones or turquoise corner stones . . . . so I framed the quadrant block in a dark blue small paisley print accented with turquoise corner stones. Other Bits: A couple years ago I was waiting, waiting, waiting, for Anita Solomon Grossman to come out with her simple cuts technique for "her Wonky Star" block, but it never materialized online. I experimented on my own to build her wonky star block (trying to think it through like Anita would). That experiment resulted in 8 wonky star blocks sitting in my scrap bin, (4) red stars on a teal background and (4) teal stars on a red background. Having no better use for them, I threw them into this quilt for interest.
Here it is! I tried something new with this quilt, and I'm not sure I was 100% successful. The binding was unus...

These delightful and adventurous quilters made a silk cigar style selvage quilt on Saturday in Harwinton, CT. We took this photo before the end of the day, but you can see that there was a lot of progress being made! This was their first selvage project, and it's the most challenging quilt in the book: Quilts from the Selvage Edge. Lots of laughs, we had the best time, as quilters are known to do. :) This is a non-selvage, raw-edge version by Judi. Well, there is one selvage, and she asked me to sign it as a souvenir of the day. Isn't that sweet? This will be a hexagonal quilt for a table (under glass). Cool. I love how quilters see an idea and add their own twist to it! Thanks for a wonderful day!!
