Block of the Month

Welcome to the JRQ Block of the Month

Over the next year this page will offer you a new quilt block once a month, absolutely free. The design is by Pam and Nicky Lintott, and if you are impatient or fall in love with the quilt pattern and want to own it all in one go, you're in luck! The pattern is available in a beautiful full-colour book, Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts, which includes ten stunning sampler quilts and over 50 blocks. You can buy it here, here, here and from all sorts of other good booksellers. 

 

 

 

Getting Started

Meanwhile, back in cyberland, here are the essential instructions for getting started. Don't skip this bit - it includes all sorts of vital information.

Click here to begin

 

A bright idea from Titi: some of the blocks include half-square triangles cut from jelly roll strips, which can be done with an Omnigrid 96 ruler (or something similar), but if you don't have one of those, there's a neat tutorial on making the half-square triangles with a normal square quilting ruler here.

Oh, and because Lindy suggested it (and it was a good suggestion), we've enabled the 'comment box' at the bottom of this page. This is a place for you to post photos of your completed blocks, and to share tips, questions, ideas and well-deserved admiration for other people's piecing. Now, back to the quilt...

Please note that there is a tiny error in the Block Three instructions. The third instruction after the heading 'Making the half square triangle units' should say 'Sew four colour C [not B] squares together to form the centre of the block'. This is clear in the accompanying diagram.

That's the last set of instructions! I hope this block of the month has been fun for everyone. Our thanks once again to Pam and Nicky Lintott for the gorgeous pattern.

I'll leave the all instructions up for those of you that joined in recently and are catching up!

Have pattern, have fabric - all I need is some spare time to get started!

Oh okay! I found the name of the Moda Jelly Roll in the pdf. I love this quilt! So beautiful! I might have to learn more about the jelly roll process. I think I'm hooked!

Hello,

I'm new to the jelly roll process and have a question. I am not making the quilt but to those of you who are, is this a specific jelly roll that is purchased to do this quilt? Does it have a name? Or, does everyone just chose their own colors? Thanks!

Hello Karen

Congrats on sticking with it! You have only two more blocks to go. Number eleven is my favourite. And I'm not just saying that to spur you on. Honest.

As a mixed media artist I usually work in a far less structured way but I am really enjoying the traditional and evenly paced construction of this quilt.  Several friends bet me that I would not be able to stick to the ordered way of working but so far, so good!

Here it is Karen! And anyone else making the quilt.

Please post photos of your finished creations!

I can't believe we're halfway through this block of the month! Block seven will be available at the end of next week.

Welcome jengantt. Can't wait to see your interpretation.

I recently purchased this book and love it. I have started on block 1 and am using Deb Strain's boy-meadow friends. Can't wait to finish the first one and see photos of others.

My friends and I in Bunbury western Australia, are doing our own jelly roll challenge, we have all brought the books several of us have the latest sampler book so we decided we would all choose a jelly roll some of us got  ours from Dorking in Surrey, others gotthe from elshwere, now we are busy sewing away and they are all so diffrent, it is quite stunning to see the diffrent styles and great fun to watch them all come together. Whats more as I care for my Mum full time my day in Bunbury which is a good 40 mins drive from my home in Busselton, is one of my best days of the week as its a me day, dong what I love talking to like minded people and sewing to our hearts content, sharing ideas and swapping recipes as well, fun is had by all.Sewing is great therapy i think as well as being enjoyable. I will post some photo's soon of the blocks I have done to share with you all.

Block two done

Comment by Onimuoyinbo on July 13, 2011 at 13:08
Oh yes Jane. It will be a bit slow as I am on the second block now. :-) Will have all four done by Friday hopefully.
Comment by Jane Makepeace on July 13, 2011 at 13:05

You're the first to post a block photo! And it's lovely. Congratulations!

I have a feeling one block a month is going to be a little slow for you, Titi.

Comment by Onimuoyinbo on July 13, 2011 at 12:44

Block one done
