KID QUILT #4 - ROGUE ONE BY REBECCA LATHAM

For this quilt, I used this collection called "Rogue One". There were 42 strips, with 3 of each of 14 different fabrics, and I got the fabric at Keepsake Quilting.  Each strip measured 2.5" x 42". For the border and binding, I used yardage from JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts Store.

The pattern for this quilt is a modified version of the pattern called "Jelly Roll Race 1600" and you can find the tutorial on the MissouriStar Quilting Company youtube channel. What I did to modify it was that I cut each strip in half first, and then cut the very first strip in half again. The backing is a mottled bright blue flannel and was also purchased from JoAnn.
 
The finished size of the quilt is 52" x 72".
 

I used Warm and White batting, also purchased from JoAnn. The quilting pattern is a general meander and it came with my new Quilt Magician.  The fabric is so detailed that I needed a quilting design that was simple. The thread I used was YLI white cotton.
