NEW Shortcut Quilt: Jelly Roll Railway

3 Comments

Jelly Roll Railway banner

Hey Quilters!  We hope your day is going well, but we’re about to make it even better with a little bit of Jelly Roll love.  Our next Shortcut Quilt is the Jelly Roll Railway, and you will totally want to hop on board!  The Railroad Crossing quilt block is a total classic that most quilters will recognize, and this is our strippy tribute to that beloved block.  In this video, Kimberly will show you how to make the blocks from a Jelly Roll and how to get the most perfect matching points!

Grab the free Jelly Roll Railway pattern, a Jelly Roll (obviously), 1 2/3 yards for background fabric, and 1 7/8 yards for the accent and border fabric.  A square ruler that is at least 9″, like the Creative Grids 9.5″ Quilting Square, will make this project a cinch!

Our Jelly Roll Railway Quilt Kit and Backing Set feature Berry Merry by BasicGrey for a modern winter quilt that sparkles, but our bloggy friends have quilted it up in different colors for you to see how it can be transformed for any day of the year.

Watch the video to see how Kimberly makes the Jelly Roll Railway block, then share your quilts with us with #jellyrollrailway.

Then share this video with a friend!  It’s always fun to see how the same pattern can look so different (yet equally amazing) with different fabric choices.

Shortcut Quilt: Jelly Roll Twist

3 Comments
Today, we have a fun shortcut quilt tutorial for all skill levels! Jolly Roll Twist, our free pattern, features a modern layout mixed with the classic prints and colors of Hop, Skip, and a Jump! fabric by American Jane for Moda!
All you need for this quilt is the Jelly Roll Twist Quilt Kit or your favorite Jelly Roll! We also used our go-to Aurifil 2000, our favorite Creative Grids Ruler, and our trusty Alphabitties to make this quilt a cinch!
Are you ready to get started? First, we selected our favorite 34 prints from the Hop, Skip, and a Jump! Jelly Roll, and stitched them together!
After pressing and cutting the Jelly Roll strips, we aligned them with the solid block squares!
Next, we lined up the long strips, short strips, and solid blocks!
Viola! 42 blocks later, you have this eye-catching quilt that is perfect for a gift (or to keep for yourself! We won’t share your secret!)
Ready for all of the in between steps? Download your free pattern and get started now! We’ll walk through the Jelly Roll Twist quilt with you every step of the way!

Have you noticed that we love sharing FREE PATTERNS with you?  It’s true – we do!  We’re sweet that way, and are pleased to kick off August with another free pattern for a Shortcut Quilt. This new quilt is called Layer Cake Checkmate, and it’s easy, quick and fun to stitch up. It’s sew simple that even a beginner quilter can turn out an awesome and snuggly quilt, especially when you use our Layer Cake Checkmate Quilt Kit!
  
http://www.fatquartershop.com/layer-cake-checkmate-quilt-kit
 
We’re switching things up and made a “manly” quilt that would do any Man Cave or guy’s dorm room proud! The featured quilt was made with flannel, so it’s super soft and snuggly.  While that may not sound so great during these hot summer months, this quilt will be a coveted cover when the chill of fall and winter set in!
 
GET THE FREE PATTERN!
 
Speaking of the pattern, you may download it HERE!  We also have an awesome video tutorial that walks you through the making of this check-tastic quilt.  Click here to watch the video, or watch it in the video screen below. 

Wasn’t that easy? Now it’s time to select your fabric!  If you’d like to make the same quilt shown in the video, you can find the aforementioned Layer Cake Checkmate Quilt Kit here! We also have a coordinating Backing Set! We know you’re going to love these Wool and Needle IV Flannels by Primitive Gatherings for Moda – they’re SO soft!

If you opt to make your quilt with Layer Cakes versus a Kit, we’ve got a sale for you!

Even MORE Checkmate Quilts!
 
Variety is the spice of life, so we stitched up a version of this pattern in quilter’s cotton, shown below, so you can see the Checkmate Pattern in a lighter and brighter fabric. One great pattern yields so many great options! 
 
You’ll also see different versions of our Checkmate quilt that some of our Quilter Blogger Friends have stitched up, so don’t miss the links out to their Checkmate quilts further down in the post. They had a lot of fun with this pattern, too!

This version of the Checkmate quilt, made with Vintage Picnic Layer Cakes and yardage by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics shows that the Layer Cake Checkmate Quilt stitches up beautifully, no matter the fabric types or colors. And isn’t that vintage fire truck the cutest?
