Over the weekend, I made some progress on my Strip Quilt, using the Jocelyn fabrics by Sentimental Studios for Moda. There are two blocks in the quilt, a "flower block" shown above and a chain block made up of green, white and yellow. There are two units within the flower block. One is a simple four patch made in different combinations of colors: yellow and green in the center, green and white and yellow and white for the corners (this will form a chain).
The other unit is this one:
It is constructed by sewing squares onto the corners of colored strip units. I used two color ways, pinks and purples. This pattern is a wonderful way to use up fabric in your stash. You could use all florals or add in a coordinating tone on tone as I have done. The pattern called Kitty Kitty is available on line from Cozy Quilt Designs. You could easily make it from jelly rolls since the strips are all 2 1/2 inches wide. Or, dig into your stash and come up with your own fabric combinations.

That’s real pretty, Nicole. Looks like a fairly easy pattern, and those fabrics are very nice in this design.

This is looking quite cheerful and cute. I love it. It is great to see fabrics that I wouldn’t normally pick in something completed. Then I change my mind and I am tempted to buy them too! Looks great. Love the colors together.

Nicole, in my past life I would have shuddered at these fabrics. But as I grow into womanhood (hehe), I am starting to adore the colors and designs that bring to mind nature and feelings of comfort. This quilt will be gorgeous. You are one busy lady. What I would do to spend an afternoon with you, learning from all your tips and experience! Reading your blog is a nice alternative though. Thank you so much for sharing all you do. Love Stacy
