For
this
quilt, I used a collection called "Blossom Batik Pastels". There were 40 strips,
with 2 each of 20 different fabrics, and I purchased the fabric at Keepsake Quilting. Each strip
measured 2.5" x 42". For the border and binding, I used yardage from Top Shelf Quilts.
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 Missouri Star 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 purple and white flannel and was purchased
from JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts Store.
The finished size of the quilt is 52" x 72".
I used Warm and White batting, also purchased from JoAnn. The digital quilting design is called "Crinoline" and can be purchased from Urban Elementz. The thread I used was YLI variegated Pastels cotton.
Here are some photos of the quilt in progress.
This is how the fabric strips look after they have been chain-sewed together end to end.
Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie
Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the
