Lulu Roses Quilt Top Complete

The Lulu Roses Quilt top is ready for the longarm quilter.

I’ll give you some of the details now ….but I’ll post the rest of the details later …

I’ve had two ladies ask if I was going to film a video on how to make this quilt … the answer is I’d be happy to ….but ….. this quilt measures 66 x 75 and to be honest I prefer making smaller quilts.  So, I’ll rework my blocks and come up with a smaller size…. it will be the same … just a tad smaller (to make it larger all you do is add more blocks).

• I used 8 patterns of Fabric … with one White Jelly Row (could be more .. I made some tweaks along the way).
• It’s 8 rows across … 9 rows down for a total of 72 blocks that measure 6-1/2 x 6-1/2 (plus the extra strips that measure 2-1/2 x 6-1/2).
• I used 6-1/2 x 6-1/2 squares …cut with the AccuQuilt 6-1/2 square die.
• For the sashing I sewed two jelly roll strips together (for a total of 88 inches … I trimmed the extra).

After making this quilt I’ve decided that I really like making quick and easy quilts and although this quilt was easy …. it was not as quick as I would have liked!!  My next quilt will be something really quick … like maybe another flower or butterfly quilt.

I’ll try to take a better picture tomorrow …. if you don’t see it …. you’ll know I was unsuccessful and I’ll be looking for a way to take a picture of larger quilt.

FYI …  the Raskog cart from Ikea is on sale this week for $29.99 … I’m headed over there tomorrow to buy two more for the lake house!!

See ya!
