Lulu Roses Quilt Along

To make the Lulu Roses Quilt you will need the following:

1/2 yard of fabric of 7 Patterns
1 Jelly Roll – that coordinates with your fabric
Backing Fabric – 4-5/8 yards (more if you make a larger quilt)
Binding Fabric – 1/2 yard
Matching Thread
I will have my quilt finished by my longarm quilter and she provides the batting.
Basic Sewing supplies (scissors, sewing machine, etc)

The Fabric I’m using is Lulu Roses by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit.

Here’s some more info about the Lulu Roses Quilt

Measures 59 x 67
Total 56 Blocks
Blocks measure 6-1/2 x 6-1/2
Quilt is: 7 Blocks Across and 8 Blocks Down
49 White Strips measure 2-1/2 x 6-1/2
Sashing – 20 Strips
The picture I’ve provided shows a larger quilt (9 blocks across and 8 down) but we are making a smaller size to allow us to complete it in the next 6 weeks.

I’m providing a written tutorial that will follow along our Quilt Along. We may or may not make some modifications at the end.

How much fabric do you need for 56 Blocks?

It depends on how many patterns of fabric you buy. You can get 12 squares out of a 1/2 yard of fabric. I went with 7 patterns … 8 blocks each of 7 patterns for a total of 56.
Another option would be 5 Patterns of fabric – But you would need to buy more than 1/2 yard (I would buy a whole yard to be safe).

I’ll be back later today with the First Video on how to make the Lulu Roses Quilt.

See ya!
