Thank you so much for that link!! It makes so much sense!
I just returned from my guild's yearly retreat and while there, I just had to buy 4 jelly rolls from a vendor who came!! I think three of them are pinked, and I never even gave it a second thought!

Well besides shopping, laughing, eating and socializing, I did manage to get a bit of sewing done! LOL
I am making a Swoon Quilt for my nephew and his new wife as a wedding quilt. They love purple, so that's what they are getting! I managed to get 3 blocks done and I'll try to post pics of them today. Each block is 24" so it takes a bit of time to sew one.
Two of the jelly rolls are Edyta's Over The Rainbow Batik fabrics - a neutral roll and a blue/green roll. Then one roll is all Kaffe fabrics, and the last roll is a line called Tickle, which is happy bright graphics. Not sure what quilts these will become but at least I am prepared!! LOL

So glad you'll be posting photos of blocks from the Swoon Quilt, Michelle, because I have NO IDEA what a Swoon Quilt is! :lol: I suppose I could look it up on the internet but seeing your blocks will be by far better!

Renata, if you Google "Swoon Quilt" you will have an idea, but I still want to see Michelle's version! :wink:

These pictures are not the best because we have a very overcast rainy day here today. The color theme for the Swoon quilt is purple. It will be a wedding gift for my nephew and his new wife who love purple. All the blocks will have a dark purple and a lighter lavender batik, set on a light cream Moda Marble.
The first two pictures have pretty accurate colors, the third block however, is not that blue, but the purple does lean towards the ultramarine side of purple and the lavender is a lighter cool tone. There are three more blocks to make - they are 24" each! It's an easy block to make and fun too!
PS. Be sure to click on the pictures to see the lovely designs in the fabrics!

Here are the Jelly Rolls I bought.
Two are Edyta Sitar's Over the Rainbow batiks. There were full rainbow jelly rolls, hot rainbow jelly rolls and cool rainbow jelly rolls. I decided to step out of my "I love Rainbow colors" box and get the Blue/Green Cool Roll. I also bought the neutral roll to go with it.
The other two are TIcklish by Moda which is happy light brights and Liberty by Westminster, which is Kaffe type prints.
Now to figure out what to make from them!!

You are going to have fun, Michelle! Thanks for posting and when you do figure out what you'll do with them, please share (I'm being selfish, I have a jelly roll I don't know what to do with but have a little time before I plan to devour it! :lol:

You could try them out mug rugging to see how you like them made up in a smaller scale :wink:Originally posted by Renata

May not be a bad idea, Rosemary, since I've been hanging on to this jelly roll for two years (might be stale by now... :lol: )
