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.
