Biggie Size Interweave - Part 2 -

 

 

After I posted my last post - 

 

I had a couple more thoughts that I would like to share - 

 

One was to answer Linda's comment/question - 

Regarding where to find matching jelly rolls and charm packs - 

Holy cow, you got all that done and documented in such a short while. What are the odds of finding matching charm packs and strips? I love the size, totally usable as a comfort quilt. I will have to print this out after rehab today and pour over it. You are amazing.

My reply -

I got my matching jelly rolls and charm packs a LONG time ago - and don't really remember where I got them - but the one I'm using is Moda - and I have two more "sets" in my stash - both by Benartex.  I'm pretty sure "Island Batiks" has jelly rolls and charm packs in their "lines".  I  think most "pre-cut" manufacturers  have "matching" jelly rolls and charm packs - and layer cakes - with the same fabrics in each pack.  I'll see if I can find some for you.

My favorite source for jelly rolls is Jelly Roll Fabric dot net - no spaces - and they are having a big sale on jelly rolls right now -

https://www.jellyrollfabric.net/40-Strip-Clearance_c_2358-1-13.html

but their charm pack selection is limited so I would check those first - jot down the names of the ones you like - then see if they have the jelly roll to match.  Have fun - and put your detective skills to work - LOL - ;))

P.S.  Quilt in a Day has some - if you click on "View This Line" under an item - you can see if they have the sets -

Connecting Threads has precuts - but you would have to check the "kit contents" to see if they match -

OR - you could get two matching jelly rolls.  You only need to cut 4 more squares from each strip for the center checkerboard - the rest can be used for more/longer borders - or on the back - or you can add it to your stash for something else - ;))

And here are some I found on clearance at Keepsake Quilting -

They look a bit scrambled - but they might have "sets" -

Also - 

 

If you find a site - you might be able to "filter" it by manufacturer to see if "sets" pop up - that might narrow your search a little - 

===

And -

If you want to make sure that the squares cut from your strip are in the right "sequence" -

You could cut each strip separately and line up the squares -

In order - alternating the squares - like so - 

(I'm using the Halloweenie (smaller) verion in this example) -

Then sew them together - for your loooooooooooooong strip - 

 

===

 

And - 

 

If you want all of your border "segments" the same size before you sew the long strips -

And/or want them to look a little bit more "orderly" - 

You could cut them all down to 12" - and go from there - 

 

======

 

And - 

 

If you want to use TWO jelly rolls -

Instead of ONE jelly roll and ONE charm pack -

You could play around with the MATH - 

And probably come up with "other" lengths to make the top longer - 

And probably be able to add more borders to make the top wider - 

If you do that - please let me know what you come up with -

===

 

That's all I can think of right now - 

But I'll keep you "posted" -

 

Pun definitely intended - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
