2 Quilts from 1 Jelly Roll and 4 Yards

During my travels last winter I visited a fabric shop that sold everything Kaffe Fassett.  I had to buy some but what?  There were so many choices and options.  As usual,  I decided to purchase a jelly roll because of course, then I didn't have to choose only one or two fabrics.  I know that you can make a twin sized quilt with a jelly roll and a border, so I thought I bet I can make two quilts with a jelly-roll and 4 yards of fabric.  I thought I better pick out a couple of yards of two fabrics so I would have enough for my projects.  When I brought the fabrics home, I just sat and looked at their lovely brightness. I knew I must do something with them because these fabrics were not going into my stash to be stored until who knows when. 

I sat down with a piece of paper and started figuring.  I decided to do a simple 16 patch and large square for one quilt...   







And a half-square triangle and square block for the second quilt.









I actually needed more fabric for the borders because I bought the fabrics first and then decided what I was going to make with them.  Not always a good idea if you are trying to be thrifty.  I loved this fabric so much, I purchased some for my Run'n Stitch shop HERE
