Soft Fabrics Are Lovely in This Pretty Quilt

A Beautiful Project for Leftover Jelly Roll Strips!
Softly colored prints, a neutral background and an intriguing quilt block combine in a perfectly lovely quilt. Small-scale prints give it a bit of a retro feel.
Stronger colors will result in a more modern personality, especially in varying fabric styles. Whatever you choose, be sure to provide enough contrast so that the intriguing block design pops out from the background.
Speed construction by using 2 1/2″ strips. This is a great project for using up leftovers from your stash, giving the quilt a scrappy look. Or, coordinate around a particular color theme or fabric line.
The finished quilt, by Jean Nolte, is 71″ x 88″.
