Jelly Girl Quilt

I own a little fabric shop and I love visiting with quilters and crafters.  I love teaching classes.  I love developing displays.  I love making samples for items in my shop.  But the hardest thing to do, the thing I dread every season,  is picking out fabric other people will purchase.  

Last season I found a collection called 'Blueberry Buckle', which I absolutely loved, and I bought the entire collection.  I believed that the soft blues and mellow tans would make a lovely quilt to bundle up under in front of a crackling fire.   It turns out however, I may be the only person on the planet who loves this fabric... well there is one lady in this town who can't seem to get enough of it either, but she doesn't want 19 bolts.   It's a good thing I love it because I will probably be using it in all kinds of projects.  

The first thing I made with the first full collection of fabric I have ever purchased, was a quilt using a pattern that was used to advertise the collection, Jelly Girl by Fig Tree & Co.   This is a jelly roll pattern. The blocks are made by sewing jelly roll strips together...really.  I put the quilt together and of course I loved it.  

Because the blocks are made out of jelly roll strips, this quilt doesn't take long to put together.  The key for this quilt was finding a fabric for the background that didn't overpower or blend in with the light colors.  I chose a white on off-white and I like the way it offset the blues and tans.
