Jelly Filled: 18 Quilts
from 2½” Strips
By Vanessa Goertzen
Does the world need yet
another book of patterns for
making quilts from jelly roll
strips? Possibly not , but ... if
you enjoy buying jelly rolls
or if you’re looking for quick
and easy quilt projects that
you can ‘whip up’ without
any hassle, or if you’re a
novice quiltmaker or enjoy
making scrap quilts, this book is likely to
be a welcome addition to your library. For starters,
there’s a generous number of projects in it, and they’re
all bed size. (The smallest is 64in x 80in.) However,
because they’re block-based, you can change the
size of the projects quite readily if you wish. They are
graded from easiest to more advanced — and even the
more advanced are fairly straightforward — so you can
tackle these projects with confidence. Most of them are
based on classic patchwork shapes put together in non-
standard ways, so you’ll probably feel that you haven’t
seen most of these patterns before. The instructions are
clear and illustrated with lots of diagrams, and Vanessa
provides materials lists for working with fat quarters,
fat eighths and scraps from your stash as alternatives
to store-bought jelly rolls. There’s a lot to love!

Autumn Bouquet:
Patchwork and
Appliqué Quilts
from Reproduction
Fabrics
By Sharon Keightley
New Zealander quiltmaker
and designer Sharon
Keightley has contributed
a number of fabulous projects to Quilters
Companion and our sister magazine, Australian
Homespun, over the years, so many readers will
be delighted to know she has created a collection
of 12 new designs for her first book. Most are only
small — 32in square or less — but many of the
designs lend themselves quite readily to repetition
if you wanted to make multiple versions of a
design and join them for a bed quilt. Most also
feature Sharon’s characteristic mix of patchwork
and appliqué. In addition to project instructions
in Martingale’s typical high-quality style, Sharon
provides an excellent guide to two methods she
uses for preparing appliqué shapes and stitching by
machine, although, of course, you could make any
of the projects using a variety of hand or machine
appliqué methods.
