It’s the final day of the Jelly Filled Quilt Parade! Thanks for celebrating my book, Jelly Filled – 18 Quilts from 2½” Strips with me. I’ve invited a few of my favorite designers to play along and show us quilts from the book with their own spin. They will each also be giving away a copy of the Jelly Filled book, so be sure to stop by their websites to enter! Get ready for inspiration galore!

Today the focus is on Chapter 6: “Advanced Techniques.” I wanted to introduce some intermediate techniques for beginners (or anyone who’d like to expand their quilting skills). Here’s a taste of piecing triangles and curves!

Quilt no. 17 is “Queen of Diamonds.” Fabric is Wonderland by Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel. (I used fat quarters in place of precut strips.)

Quilt no. 18 is “Hey Cupcake.” Fabric is Ombre Confetti Metallic by V & Co. for Moda Fabrics.

She has included some really great tips using the Creative Grids Circle Savvy Ruler to make this quilt, including a video!
