Little red riding hood

-

The little red riding hood jelly roll was already used in these two quilts: #1 and #2. But there were still full strips and some scraps left. I found this tutorial and got inspired. The roll had still some red, pinks and greens left as well as the lighter strips. I was just short of a few, which i filled in with solid white and some scraps from another jelly roll. This quilt is quick to make. It was super fun arranging the colours and I could not be happier with the result. It must be my favourite make so far! Finished size100x128cm (40“x50“).

Donated to project Linus QLD chapter in November 2021.



The backing was a mix of black/grey/white and a rainbow. I did not heavily  quilt it - I went along the center lines of the light strips. This quilt is yet to find a new home.

Little red riding hood granny square quilt

This quilt was made up based on this free tutorial . I used 12 strips of a fairy tale themed jelly roll with white background fabric to create the granny square quilt. I love how the blocks come together, it’s a great project if you only have some time here and there.  To get the size requirements right, I only made 12 blocks. Each block is 9“ before sewing and 8.5“ after sewing. I used 3“ strips (finished width 2 1/2“) in between squares. I used a donated fabric From Project Linus for the backing and a cherry red binding. I quilted around the blocks as well as a smaller square inside the block. Final size is  90cm by 118 cm (36“ by 46“).

With the remainder of the jelly roll used for this quilt with the addition of some solid fabrics, I made a stoplight quilt. The PDF of this free pattern can be downloaded  here . I’ve sewn up a total of 30 blocks, arranged in 5 rows and 6 columns. The final dimension of the quilt is 92cm by 126cm (36 inch by 50inch).  I used some funny pug fabric and some leftover blocks from the diamond quilt for the back. Finished the quilt with a bright cherry red binding. This quilt was Donated to Project Linus QLD chapter. Hope it will find a new happy owner.
