Over the Christmas break I ordered some jelly roll fabric to start planning to make my first Queen-sized bed quilt. The three jelly rolls are all from the "Bunny Hill - Lily & Will" collection, I chose one in the brown & blue colour scheme, one in brown & green and one in brown & pink. The colours are all light pastel shades and I hope they will go well mixed up with the common brown fabric to pull it all together. It was actually quite hard to source all three of these jelly rolls, they appear to be discontinued. I looked in local quilt and sewing shops but no luck. Then I found two from a craft shop in America, and another from a craft shop in Tasmania! What would we do without internet shopping haha?
I'm unsure at this stage if I will need all 3 jelly rolls (perhaps only 2) to make a Queen-sized quilt, it depends on what pattern I end up following. At the moment I am considering either a quilt based on the traditional '9 patch block', or maybe another Pandora's box - same pattern as I used for
Puss n Boots' quilt, but scaled up in size. Even if I use the Pandora's box pattern, I'm sure the end result will be quite different using pastel shades and browns rather than the bright colours used in Puss n Boots' quilt. Right now I'm having fun surfing the many inspiring craft blogs out in cyberspace looking for ideas - but I hope to make a decision and start cutting the pieces up for this quilt in the next week.
